intro riff
guitar 2 ( starting at the second part of guitar 1’s intro riff )
A2 E A2

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
A#/C# A2
she’s almost brighter than the sun
E
seems to me to be unfair
A#/C#
when you consider everyone
A2
who pales when they compare , when they compare

chorus
E
cant hold a candle to her
A2
cause all the moths get in the way

and theyll begin to chew her
E
entire attire until it frays

for she outshines anyone whoever might
A#/C# A2 E
dare to bask in the same candlelight

intro riff
verse 2
E
oh please dont seat us in the back , with all the insects and the trash
A2 E
she is a lady im 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
A#/C# A2
shes like an ancient artifact
E
something youre lucky to have found
A#/C#
shell pinch the nerves in all the necks
A2
when she turns those heads around , those heads around

chorus
