Verse 1:
E minorEm      C majorC               G+G       BB
I am the moth beating his wings against the dusty window
E minorEm       C majorC            G+G BB
Outside of your dull, fluorescent light
E minorEm           C majorC
Youth was dark with the simple things
  G+G         BB
You had your light, I had my wings
E minorEm            C majorC            G+G BB
 You were the brightest star in the black night
F# minorF#m
  My fluorescent girl in the city light

Chorus:
A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
 How long, my fluorescent favorite?
F# minorF#m       G+G
  How long 'til you are mine?

 Today, tonight? Today, tonight?
F# minorF#m         G+G
  How long, my fluorescent light?


Verse 2:
N.C.                      G+G BB
The spiders, and the ants, and the dance goes
N.C.                 G+G BB
Two by two into arks of oblivion (Ha)
E minorEm     C majorC
 Ours is a desperate song
    G+G          BB
"You're not that bright, I'm not that strong"
E minorEm        C majorC            G+G BB
 And our outcome looks exceedingly clear
F# minorF#m        FF
  We are always separate, always near

F# minorF#m         G+G
  How long 'til you run out of light?
D MajorD     C# minorC#m       F# minorF#m
 A augmentedA year, a month, a day, a night?
         G+G
How long, my fluorescent light?

Bridge:
D MajorD         C# minorC#m
 When you lead me on
D MajorD         C# minorC#m
 With your pseudo sun
D MajorD            C# minorC#m
 Your light might not be all that bright
      F# minorF#m        C# minorC#m
But in the dark, it feels so strong
    BB      Bb majorBb    FF    BB
And my wings can't last this long


Verse 1:
E minorEm            C majorC             G+G BB
 You were the brightest star in the black night
N.C.
My fluorescent girl in the city light
