Verse 1 

E 
To know her, is to love her, I'm going undercover 
A2                                     E 
To catch a glimpse but not get caught 

But to see her, could be worse, If I don't get my head straight first 
A2                                  E 
On second thought I guess I'll not 

Pre-Chorus 1
 
Bb/C#                           A2 
She's almost brighter than the sun 
                    E 
Seems to me to be unfair 
                      Bb/C# 
When you consider everyone 
                      A2 
Who pales when they compare, when they compare 

 
E 
Can’t hold a candle to her 
                                A2 
Cause all the moths get in the way 

And they’ll begin to chew her 
                         E 
Entire attire until it frays 

For she outshines anyone whoever might 
Bb/C#           A2               E 
Dare to bask in the same candlelight 

Intro Riff 
Verse 2 

E 
Oh please don’t seat us in the back, With all the insects and the trash 
A2                       E 
She is a lady I’m the tramp 

Collecting stares from pairs close by, Then flutters in a butterfly 
A2                           E 
Ew just a moth drawn to the lamp 

Pre-Chorus 2
 
Bb/C#                      A2 
She’s like an ancient artifact 
                                E 
Something you’re lucky to have found 
                                   Bb/C# 
She’ll pinch the nerves in all the necks 
                             A2 
When she turns those heads around, those heads around
