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