[Intro]
Am Bb C

[Verse 1]
Am Bb C
I don’t know how to stay away from it
Am Bb C
The smoke always calls me to play (Come play)
Am Bb C
Tricky monsters conspire in the atmosphere
Am Bb C
Pulling me down toward their weight

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am Bb C
If a fire’s burning garbage on the yard, I wanna save ’em
Am Bb C
But I always end up burned, my body goes through a cremation
Am Em Dm
I forget that I can’t build with those who lack a good foundation
Am Bb C
Always breaking, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Am Bb
Baby, I’m a moth and you’re the flame
C
I kept flying
Am Bb
Every time you called, I always came
C
You kept lying
Am Bb
Danced around your inconsistent flame
C
Wings were frying
Am Bb C
Somehow I was always getting blamed

[Hook]
Am
Be on your merry way, be better
Bb C
Both of my antennas read you like a letter
Am
I won’t be around a fake caterpillar
Bb C
Get in your cocoon, baby, don’t be bitter

[Verse 2]
Am Bb C
Don’t expect me to cradle you gently
Am Bb C
I know that my boundaries were thin
Am Bb C
Transformation destroyed all the pages
Am Bb C
Of patterns we once were locked in

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am
Now my instinct won’t be rushing
Bb C
To your rescue on a Sunday
Am
When you’ve had enough parading
Bb C
And displaying of your bouquet
Am
It’s all thorns with petals scorched
Em Dm
And ribbons tied so fucking loosely
Am
Wouldn’t choose it (Ah)
Bb C
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Am Bb
Baby, I’m a moth and you’re the flame
C
I kept flying
Am Bb
Every time you called, I always came
C
You kept lying
Am Bb
Danced around your inconsistent flame
C
Wings were frying
Am Bb C
Somehow I was always getting blamed

[Outro]
Am Bb C
