Introduction:

                             D  
I've been here in this place
                             Em  
I've been stuck in this space
                        Bm                                                                      G  
Like a ghost that's been missing its life

Silent words in my mouth
                             Em

In my heart and out of my mind
Oh-woah

I'll go, but I won't go quietly

Don't know where, don't know why

                                  Em  
That's been waiting for spring
                  Bm                                         G  
I'm a girl reinventing herself
                        D  
We might fall, we might rise
                  Em  
We are all butterflies
                          Bm                                                              G  
Breaking free from our jars on the shelf
Am                                    Bm  
Finding out the truth for ourselves
