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

Em C
The ghost of pathetic past is
G D
haunting me here more and more
Em C G
Skeletons are laughing at

me through the closet door
Em
And now past lovers

share these covers

Sleeping with my enemies

Thoughts of others

come between us

Trigger fits of jealousy

Bridge:
Am G/B C
You can paint me pretty colours
D Am
And dress me how you like

I'm just an ugly moth in love

In a butterfly disguise

I've been thinking about leaving
since the day that we met

If I don't get close when

Cause I have seen the end

So many times I've
played it in my mind

I never wanna see your dark side
