               Butterfly on a wheel  by  The Mission
               from the album Carved in sand

   D                         Bm
   Silver and gold, and it's growing cold
   G                    F#m
   Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
   D                        Bm
   Shivers down your spine, chill you to the bone,
             G                    F#m
   cause the mandling wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
       D                          Bm
   The heat of your breath carvin shadows in the mist
         G                         F#m
   Every angel has the wish, she's never been kissed
   D               Bm
   A broken dream, haunting in your sleep
   G                       F#m
   Hiding in your smile, a secret you must keep love cuts you deep.


   Bm                                        A
   Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
   Bm                                        A
   Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

   D                                Bm
   There's no scarlet in you, lay a fair down for me
                   G                 F#m
   Sure has got me twined, you can't wrap you arms around a memory
        D               Bm
   Take warmth from me, cold autumn winds cut sharp as a knife
              G                      F#m
   but in the dark for me you're the candle flame that flikkers to light


   Bm                                        A
   Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
   Bm                                            A
   Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
   Bm                                        A
   Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
   Bm                                            A
   Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

   D                   Bm
   Wise men say all is fair in love and war
                  G
   And there's no right or wrong in the design of love
       F#m
   And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
   D                Bm
   Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow
                G                     F#m
   and like the flower in the spring, love will rise again to heal your wings

   Bm                                       A
   Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
   Bm                                            A
   Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
   Bm                                        A
   Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
   Bm                                            A
   Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
