Intro: D G D G 

Verse 1: 

    D 
You can't put a butterfly in a jar 
G 
If the effort's too high no matter who you are 
    D 
You can't catch the moon, or the sun or the stars 
G 
It doesn't matter who you are 

 
     D 
Iced honey 
     G 
Iced honey 

Verse 2: 
D 
 Now me I've tried a million tricks 
   G 
To make life cold and make it stick 
    D 
Not running heat that flames then out 
        G 
But the proud piece of ice that always floats
 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Verse 3: 

     D 
If I can't trap a butterfly or a bee 
     G 
If I can't keep my heart where I want it to be 
      D 
If no matter how much soul and heart I put to the wood 
     G 
If a flaming heart is not that good 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Verse 4:
 
       D 
If you can't put a butterfly in a jar 
   G 
If violence mars your final hour 
       D 
If you make others feel like jam 
G 
Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb 

Verse 5: 

        D 
If it's all mixed up and you cannot shout 
         G 
And your oxygen starts to run out 
        D 
If your final gasp has the recipe wrong 
    G 
And instead of hello you say so long 

Verse 6:
 
        D 
If your energy starts to leak out 
    G 
And people wonder what you're all about 
  D 
A heartbreaker with an unattached heart 
    G 
The story of love gives them all a start 

Verse 7:
 
    D 
And me, I've always been this way 
       G 
Not by choice, just this way 
  D 
I can't put my honey pot in a jar  
     G 
Or a heart or a fist of some young boy 

Verse 8:
 
       D 
If you can't put a butterfly in a jar 
          G 
No wonder no need to wonder where you are 
   D 
It might seem like Hell, the river Styx 
G 
Your affection never sticks 

Verse 9:
 
D 
No matter what you say, no matter what you do 
  G 
A butterfly heart flies right past you 
        D 
There's nothing to say, nothing to do 
G 
See if the ice will melt for you 

Bridge:
 
D 
See if the ice will melt for you

See if the ice will melt for you

See if the ice will melt for you 
D 
See if the ice will melt for you

Iced honey

Iced Honey
