[Intro]
F
It was a perfect day, oh how I’ve missed this
C                              Dm                   F
Such a perfect day, just two misfits sharing kisses

[Chorus]

And after all this time you give me butterflies, butterflies
F
Months go by, I still get butterflies, butterflies
C                              Dm                F
Perfect day, what did I do to deserve this?

[Verse 1]
C                              Dm
Went back to your house
F
And we couldn’t help but hold each other
C                              Dm
Tangled at the mouth
F
Took a break so I could take a shower
C                                            Dm
Washed the sand out of my hair
F
From our perfect day spent at the beach
C                              Dm
Looked into the foggy mirror
F
Some message staring back at me

[Chorus]
C                              Dm
And after all this time you give me butterflies, butterflies
F
Months go by, I still get butterflies, butterflies
C                              Dm                F
Perfect day, what did I do to deserve this?

[Verse 2]
C                                            Dm
I saw “I love you” written in the steam
F
And I couldn’t help but smile at the sweet message you left me
C                              Dm
But it wasn’t in your handwriting
F
Then those happy little letters
Were the saddest things I’ve ever seen

[Bridge]
Am
You need to get your conscience clean
Am
But just spare me the details, please
F                              C                Dm
I wanna keep remembering this perfect day
Am
I’m not the type to be left speechless
Am
But I don’t think I can deal with this
F
That’s all the closure that you’ll give
C Dm
This perfect day
Am
Justifications failed as apologies
Am
I don’t wanna cause a scene
F
Please let me go, I just wanna leave
C Dm
This perfect day
Oh, how could you miss this?
C Dm
Wish you would have wiped it away
F
Let me live in blissful ignorance
C Dm
And let me have this perfect day
F
But you left it all in ruins
C Dm
We ended on a perfect day
F
Really wish I could forgive this

[Chorus]
C Dm
‘Cause after all this time you give me butterflies, butterflies
F
Why’d you lie? Don’t hurt my butterflies, butterflies
C Dm
Watch them die, you killed my butterflies, butterflies
F N.C.
Butterflies ruined my perfect day

[Outro]
What did I do to deserve this?
