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

Bridge:
Em D/F# G
You can paint me pretty colours
A Em
And dress me how you like
D/F# G
I'm just an ugly moth in love
A Em
In a butterfly disguise
D/F#
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
Em
Cause I have seen the end
D/F#
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
