Nostalgia

 Nostalgia…

Clinging to my heels

Telling me the best is left behind


Nostalgia,

You’re beautiful but still

You’re wasting precious time


Farewell, you gorgeous cage 

… Today’s the good old days 

Butterflies

 D d7 am g

No I don't believe in forever
Time has never been so kind
I lost my faith in fairy tales 
And I could never call you mine

Em g d a
So flutter soft, sweet butterfly
I won't let this memory die 

Bm g d a 
Soon enough
This will all just be a memory
Time carries us like tidal waves
Pulling out to sea
Em g d a
Hold onto me, Hold onto me
Bm g d a 
Soon enough
This will all just be a memory
I'll treasure you
So treasure me
Em g
Hold onto me
Hold onto me

D d7 am g
I see you now
Eyes open wide
I'll travel back 
And visit often in my mind
Forever’s far too much to ask
And we can only love today 
So flutter gentle butterfly
Until you fly away

Em g d a
I treasure this
Your arms 
Your kiss...

Bm g d a 
Soon enough
This will all just be a memory
Time carries us like tidal waves
Pulling out to sea
Em g d a
Hold onto me, Hold onto me
Bm g d a 
Soon enough
This will all just be a memory
I'll treasure you
So treasure me
Em g d a
And hold onto me
Hold onto me
In our perfect memory 

Bm g d a 

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
Em, Bm, D, A
Time - Keeps - Pulling me under
And dragging me away
I wish I could take you with me
But it's - Just - Taking you farther 
And I wish you could stay
But that's not how it works 
Yeah it hurts so bad
Bm G D A
Cuz someday this will all just be a memory
Pretty soon this will all just be a memory 

(Music Break)
Bm G D A x2

(Repeat Chorus)

Bm G D A
In our perfect memory
Our perfect memory

Em G D A
Your fingertips like butterflies
This memory never dies

Em g d a
Your finger tips like butterflies
This memory never dies
