intro :

E B A E

E B
if you break these moth wing feelings
A
powdery dust on your fingers
E
well no we’re not praying we’re kneeling .
B
hard enough just to say you believe them
A
well how the heck’dya think you could beat them
E
at the same time that you’re trying to be them
B
hard enough just to say you don’t need it when they
A
serve it up well you will still eat it
E
well satellite and satellite skin

E B
just to knock just to say you don’t visit
A
well , when everybody’s willing to listen
E
oh satellite , satellite skin
B
you can say what you want you’re forgiven
A
well happy fxxking congratulations
E
everyone , everyone wins
B
just like being my own solar system
A
doing good things but then totally eclipse them

oh what’s the use , oh what the hell

E B
if you break these moth wing feelings
A
butterfly knives in the ceiling
E
well everyone , everyone’s waiting
B
detachments get praised and completed
A
you can say what you want and not mean it
E
when no one really seems to be waiting
B
if you sweep up this mess i’ve created
A
nothing’s left to show i existed
E
oh satellite , satellite skin

bridge :

( no chord ) A
asking for a question
B C# A B
was it easier said than was actually done?
C# A
do you even believe that
B C# A
do you even believe that there’s a race to be won?

E B
if you break these moth wing feelings
A
i have seen it all become satellite skin
E
orbiting some eyes
E B
a knack to not thats not their opinions
A E
get stacked in all those usual avoided spots
E B
just to tell you how i could not have seen
A
through to the gist of those unhappy
E
happy accidents

enjoy! dave k
