I know they think
Eb/Bb
That it took somebody else
Bbm
To make me beautiful
Bbm
Beautiful
Ab Ab
As they intended me to be
Eb/Bb
But they're wrong
Eb/Bb
I know they think
Eb/Bb
That it took thousands of people
Bbm
To put me together again
Bbm
Like an experiment
Ab
Some big man behind the scenes
Ab
Sewing Frankenstein black dreams into my songs
Eb/Bb
But they're wrong
Db/Ab Ab
God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
Eb/Bb
Or an owl to know you're listening
Eb/Bb
Sitting while I'm drinking
Db/Ab Ab
Grandfather, please stand, on the shoulders of my father
Eb/Bb Eb/Bb
While he's deep-sea fishing for sharks in the Pacific
Db/Ab
'Cause I'm good in spirit, warm body
Ab Eb/Bb
A fallible deity wrapped up in white
Db/Ab
I'm folk, I'm jazz, I'm blue, I'm green
Ab Eb/Bb
Regrettably, also a white woman
Db/Ab Ab Eb/Bb
But I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones
Db/Ab Ab
If you don't believe me, my poetry or my melodies
Eb/Bb
Feel it in your bones
Db/Ab Ab Eb/Bb
I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones
Db/Ab Ab Eb/Bb
Ah-ha-ah, yeah, ah-ha-ah, yeah, ah-ha-ah, yeah
Db/Ab Ab
Grandfather, please, stand on the shoulders of my father
Eb/Bb Eb/Bb
While he's deep-sea fishing for all the things he's wishing
Db/Ab Ab
God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
Eb/Bb Eb/Bb
Or a map to know your vision, impart on me your wisdom
Ab Bbm
It took somebody else to make me beautiful
Bbm
Wonderful
Ab
As they intended me to be
Eb/Bb
But they're wrong
Three white butterflies to know you're near
