Standard (EADGBE)

You are a splendid butterfly

 It is your wings that make you beautiful

 And I could make you fly away

 But I could never make you stay

 You said you were in love with me

 Both of us know that that's impossible

 And I could make you rue the day

 But I could never make you stay

 Not for all the tea in China

 Not if I could sing like a bird

 Not for all North Carolina

 Not for all my little words

 Not if I could write for you

 The sweetest song you ever heard

 It doesn't matter what I'll do

 Not for all my little words

 Now that you've made me want to die

 You tell me that you're unboyfriendable

 And I could make you pay in pain

 But I could never make you stay
