• Em

Intro:  Em  C  G  D  (2x) 


verse 1:
 
Em                C 
  What started out as desire  
G              D 
turned into a lover's tryst 
Em               C 
  Who knew a moth and a flame 
      G                D 
could ever spawn a love like this 
Em               C 
   Now you need something 
          G 
To taste something just 
  D                 Em 
a little bit more sweet 
         C             G 
But I am sour and more sour  
      D 
every time that our lips meet 



C             D 
  If you're a butterfly 
            Em 
I'm suicide by insecticide 
C         D 
  If I am kerosene then you're 
        Em 
a spark just begging to ignite 
C        D             Em 
  You'll wish you never met me 
C          D 
  Butterfly butterfly float on by me 



Em     C               G 
  Never meant to cut so deep 
D             Em 
Just enough to bleed 
          C 
Feel the sting as  
        G 
you get closer 
D 
Closer and closer to me 
Em            C 
  Don’t let me hold 
             G 
something so delicate 
     D 
I'll shatter it with a word 
Em            C 
   Don't say a thing as we  
    G 
get closer and closer 
D 
Damn this is gonna hurt 


verse 2: 

Em                 C 
  The ghost of pathetic past is 
G               D 
haunting me here more and more 
Em             C        G 
  Skeletons are laughing at  
               D 
me through the closet door 
Em 
  And now past lovers  
C           G 
share these covers 
         D         Em 
Sleeping with my enemies 
            C 
Thoughts of others  
        G 
come between us 
        D 
Trigger fits of jealousy 


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus) 


Interlude: Fm  G/B  C  D 


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


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
