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