Verse 1:
Fm C#
What started out as desire
G# D#
turned into a lover's tryst
Fm C#
Who knew a moth and a flame
G# D#
could ever spawn a love like this
Fm C#
Now you need something
G#
To taste something just
D# Fm
a little bit more sweet
C# G#
But I am sour and more sour
D#
every time that our lips meet
Refrain:
C# D#
If you're a butterfly
Fm
I'm suicide by insecticide
C# D#
If I am kerosene then you're
Fm
a spark just begging to ignite
C# D# Fm
You'll wish you never met me
C# D#
Butterfly butterfly float on by me
Chorus:
Fm C# G#
Never meant to cut so deep
D# Fm
Just enough to bleed
C#
Feel the sting as
G#
you get closer
D#
Closer and closer to me
Fm C#
Don’t let me hold
G#
something so delicate
D#
I'll shatter it with a word
Fm C#
Don't say a thing as we
G#
get closer and closer
D#
Damn this is gonna hurt
Verse 2:
Fm C#
The ghost of pathetic past is
G# D#
haunting me here more and more
Fm C# G#
Skeletons are laughing at
D#
me through the closet door
Fm
And now past lovers
C# G#
share these covers
D# Fm
Sleeping with my enemies
C#
Thoughts of others
G#
come between us
D#
Trigger fits of jealousy
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
Interlude: F#m | G#/C | C# | D#
Bridge:
A#m G#/C C#
You can paint me pretty colours
D# A#m
And dress me how you like
G#/C C#
I'm just an ugly moth in love
D# A#m
In a butterfly disguise
G#/C
I've been thinking about leaving
since the day that we met
C#
If I don't get close when
D#
it's all over I'll just forget
A#m
Cause I have seen the end
G#/C
So many times I've
played it in my mind
C#
And I am scared to death
D#
I never wanna see your dark side
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
