As performed on their second album, Pinkerton (track 10).

Okay, Weezer fans, time to get down and dirty.   
Here's the chords and my own bastardization of the lyrics.   
Some of this is pulled from when I saw them in concert here in  
Vancouver (as in B.C., Canada).  By the way, if you get a  
chance to see a live show, do it.  It is an incredible experience.  
Anyway, on with the song.

Verse 1: 
  G     Em            C 
  Yesterday I went outside 
          D?             G 
  With my Mother's Mason jar 
             Em         C  * 
  Caught a lovely butterfly 
  G      Em        C 
  When I woke up today 
            D?          G 
  Looked in on my fairy pet 
            Em          C  *    
  She had withered all away 
                          D7 
  No more sighing in her breast 
 

                        G 
  I'm sorry for what I did 
         Em            C 
  I did what my body told me to 
      D                    G 
  I didn't mean to do you harm 
         G7              C              D 
  Every time I pin down what I think I want 
            G 
  It slips away 
      Em           C5 
  And oh it slips away 

 
Verse 2: 
  Smell you on my hands for days 
  Couldn't wash away the scent 
  I'm a dog and you're a bitch 
  I guess you're as real as me 
  Maybe I can live with that 
  To excite my fantasy 
  Life of chasing butterfly 
 
Chorus 
 
Verse 3: 
  G       Em           C 
  I told you that I'd return 
            D?               G 
  When the robin builds his nest 
               Em            C   * 
  But I ain't never comin' back 
 
End part: 
   G 
  I'm sorry 
      Em 
  I'm sorry 
      C5      G 
  I'm sorry. 
 
 
That's about it, except for that little ditty where the stars are. 
It goes something like this:
