Aimee Mann - The Moth

[ capo 2 ]

this is similar to the other version , with the exception that there is a capo on
the second fret ( the way aimee plays it ) . there’s also some minor chord variations .

i’m sure it can be tweaked further , so please do so , and submit the results . . .

intro
Em Am C Csus2 ( x2 )

verse 1
Em Am C Csus2 C Csus2
the moth don’t care when he sees the flame
Em Am C Csus2 C Csus2
he might get burned but he’s in the game
D Am
and once he’s in he can’t go back
Em7 A7
he’ll beat his wings ’til he burns them black
C G Am C Em Am
no the moth don’t care when he sees the flame
C Em Am C Em Am
no the moth don’t care when he sees the flame

verse 2
the moth don’t care if the flame is real
’cause flame and moth got a sweetheart deal
and nothing fuels a good flirtation
like need and anger and desperation
no the moth don’t care if the flame is real
no the moth don’t care if the flame is real

chorus
C G D Em Em7
so come on let’s go ready or not
C G D Em Em7
’cause there’s a flame i know hotter than hot
C G D Am
and with a fuse that’s so thoroughly shot
Em D G Am Em
away – ay – ay – ay – ay

solo
C G D Em Em7 ( 2x )

verse 3
the moth don’t care if the flame burns low
’cause moth believes in an afterglow
and flames are never doused completely
all you really need is a love of heat
no , the moth don’t care if the flame burns low
no , the moth don’t care if the flame burns low

[ chorus ]
