Cm | G# | D# | A# (x2)
Verse 1:
Cm G#
What started out as desire
D# A#
turned into a lover's tryst
Cm G#
Who knew a moth and a flame
D# A#
could ever spawn a love like this
Cm G#
Now you need something
D#
To taste something just
A# Cm
a little bit more sweet
G# D#
But I am sour and more sour
A#
every time that our lips meet
Refrain:
G# A#
If you're a butterfly
Cm
I'm suicide by insecticide
G# A#
If I am kerosene then you're
Cm
a spark just begging to ignite
G# A# Cm
You'll wish you never met me
G# A#
Butterfly butterfly float on by me
Chorus:
Cm G# D#
Never meant to cut so deep
A# Cm
Just enough to bleed
G#
Feel the sting as
D#
you get closer
A#
Closer and closer to me
Cm G#
Don’t let me hold
D#
something so delicate
A#
I'll shatter it with a word
Cm G#
Don't say a thing as we
D#
get closer and closer
A#
Damn this is gonna hurt
Verse 2:
Cm G#
The ghost of pathetic past is
D# A#
haunting me here more and more
Cm G# D#
Skeletons are laughing at
A#
me through the closet door
Cm
And now past lovers
G# D#
share these covers
A# Cm
Sleeping with my enemies
G#
Thoughts of others
D#
come between us
A#
Trigger fits of jealousy
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
Interlude: C#m | D#/G | G# | A#
Bridge:
Fm D#/G G#
You can paint me pretty colours
A# Fm
And dress me how you like
D#/G G#
I'm just an ugly moth in love
A# Fm
In a butterfly disguise
D#/G
I've been thinking about leaving
since the day that we met
G#
If I don't get close when
A#
it's all over I'll just forget
Fm
Cause I have seen the end
D#/G
So many times I've
played it in my mind
G#
And I am scared to death
A#
I never wanna see your dark side
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
