C                 A#                     Am
We've been to the top, we've been to the bottom
C                 A#           Am
We've known everything and forgotten, yeah
C                 A#                          Am
You've kicked me around, you've wrapped me in cotton
C                 A#               Am
You've carried our load and you've shot 'em, yeah

Chorus:
            C        A#      Am
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
            C        A#      Am
Oh yes the butterflies are still there

We've argued by the baggage claim
We've accepted and we've laid blame
We've drank Sangthip in monsoonal rain
We've felt separate and we've felt the same

Chorus:
            F        G       Am
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
            C        A#      Am
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
            F        G       Am
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
            C        A#      Am
Oh yes the butterflies are still there

We've shared joy and we've shared pain
We've shared guilt and we've shared shame
We've bought into the stupid games
We've freed each offer and we laid claim

Chorus:
Oh yes, the butterflies are still there
Oh yes, the butterflies are still there
Oh yes, the butterflies are still there
Oh yes, the butterflies are still there

'cause we came from the same cocoon
