G Bm
A moth is not a butterfly
C D
And I know why, I know why
G Bm
It kind of makes you want to cry
C D G
That a moth is not a butterfly
Em Bm
But some are happy in the bluest sky
Em Am
And others search in the dark of night
Em Bm
And sadness is a silent right
Am D E
A moth is not a butterfly
G Bm
A stone is not a grain of sand
C D
It's hard, I guess, to understand
G Bm
Both broken parts scatter the land
C D G
A stone is not a grain of sand
Em Bm
And one has lived for longer still
Em Am
The other longs to break until
Em Bm
The wind can lift it in its hand
Am D E
A stone is not a grain of sand
G Bm
A desert's not a mountainside
C D
And I know why, I know why
G Bm
'cause one is vast and one divides
C D G
A desert's not a mountainside
Em Bm
'cause one has need for open space
Em Am
The other simply in its place
Em Bm
It must be known far and wide
Am D E
That a desert's not a mountainside
G Bm
A moth is not a butterfly
C D
And I know why, I know why
G Bm
It kind of makes you want to cry
C D G
That a moth is not a butterfly
