• Difficulty: Beginner

🔥 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
