Verse 1:
A minorAm      E minorEm
I changed the locks
  FF        DmDm
But your key, your key’s still working
A minorAm        E MajorE
You can’t train a moth I guess
FF    DmDm         A minorAm
Oh, each beast gets her burden
       E minorEm
So we circle this old flame
FF      E minorEm
Too much at stake
        E minorEm
But too late to change
       E minorEm
My nerves are shot
       FF
My reserves exhausted
       D MajorD
It’s a tired plot, but we bought it
     A minorAm
Now we’re lost

  E minorEm
Between love and cholera
      FF       E minorEm
Saccharine read — such a sentimental novel
     A minorAm          E MajorE
Give you cavities if it doesn’t drive you to the bottle
FF             DmDm
Me, I’ll take another kerosene
              A minorAm
If you’ve got it something harder
       E MajorE
Built like a moth you see
   FF             DmDm
And I still get chills when you talk to me
    A minorAm
But the years pass by now
  E minorEm
In twos and threes
    FF
These thrills ain’t as cheap
    DmDm
As they used to be

Chorus:
     A minorAm   E MajorE        FF  DmDm
If you’re asking, then I can’t say no
DmDm      A minorAm
Just one more chapter
E MajorE       FF
Our book won’t close
  DmDm     A minorAm E MajorE
And I know it’s madness
       FF  DmDm
To play these odds
DmDm        A minorAm
It’s like giving matches
E MajorE
to paper
FF     DmDm
To paper dolls

A minorAm E MajorE FF

DmDm      A minorAm   E MajorE   FF
I know it’s madness, I know
DmDm      A minorAm   E MajorE   FF
I know it’s madness, I kno-o-ow
DmDm     A minorAm
I know it's mad

E minorEm FF DmDm


Verse 2:
A minorAm        E MajorE     FF
Tried sweet talk, tried dynamite
         DmDm         A minorAm
But I sleepwalk, back to the battle site
        A minorAm           FF
Fight fire with fire but the fire won’t fight
          E minorEm        A minorAm
We just fly these circles like tired kites

  E MajorE     FF
You flash some fang
   DmDm    A minorAm
And I bat my lashes
     E MajorE   FF
And we’re back again
        DmDm
No end to this game with matches
      A minorAm          E minorEm
We’ve been lovers and strangers and friends who get angry
    FF             A minorAm
Made mistakes and amends and brief moments of magic
   A minorAm            E minorEm
We forgive and forget and give in to attraction
   FF            DmDm
This whole thing depends on amnesia and magnets
    A minorAm        E minorEm
I’d be leaving for good, looking for better
   FF              DmDm
But I got this broken habit I keep gluing back together
  A minorAm                E minorEm
The fervor the fire the feathers, the fever defies measure
     FF               F minorFm
And good sense won’t venture, where the moth won’t let it


Chorus:
     A minorAm   E MajorE        FF  DmDm
If you’re asking, then I can’t say no
DmDm      A minorAm   E MajorE
Just one more chapter
     FF
Our book won’t close
  DmDm     A minorAm   E MajorE
And I know it’s ma-a-adness
       FF
To play these odds
DmDm        A minorAm
It’s like giving matches
E MajorE
to paper
FF     DmDm
To paper dolls
