Verse 1:
C#m A
What started out as desire
E B
turned into a lover's tryst
C#m A
Who knew a moth and a flame
E B
could ever spawn a love like this
C#m A
Now you need something
E
To taste something just
B C#m
a little bit more sweet
A E
But I am sour and more sour
B
every time that our lips meet
Refrain:
A B
If you're a butterfly
C#m
I'm suicide by insecticide
A B
If I am kerosene then you're
C#m
a spark just begging to ignite
A B C#m
You'll wish you never met me
A B
Butterfly butterfly float on by me
Chorus:
C#m A E
Never meant to cut so deep
B C#m
Just enough to bleed
A
Feel the sting as
E
you get closer
B
Closer and closer to me
C#m A
Don’t let me hold
E
something so delicate
B
I'll shatter it with a word
C#m A
Don't say a thing as we
E
get closer and closer
B
Damn this is gonna hurt
Verse 2:
C#m A
The ghost of pathetic past is
E B
haunting me here more and more
C#m A E
Skeletons are laughing at
B
me through the closet door
C#m
And now past lovers
A E
share these covers
B C#m
Sleeping with my enemies
A
Thoughts of others
E
come between us

Trigger fits of jealousy

Bridge:
F#m E/G# A
You can paint me pretty colours
B F#m
And dress me how you like
E/G# A
I'm just an ugly moth in love
B F#m
In a butterfly disguise
E/G#
I've been thinking about leaving
since the day that we met
A
If I don't get close when
B
it's all over I'll just forget
F#m
Cause I have seen the end
E/G#
So many times I've
played it in my mind
A
And I am scared to death
B
I never wanna see your dark side
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
