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