Verse 1 E To know her, is to love her, I'm going undercover 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 E On second thought I guess I'll not Pre-Chorus 1 A2 She's almost brighter than the sun E Seems to me to be unfair C# When you consider everyone A2 Who pales when they compare, when they compare Chorus E Can’t hold a candle to her A2 Cause all the moths get in the way And they’ll begin to chew her E Entire attire until it frays For she outshines anyone whoever might E Dare to bask in the same candlelight Intro Riff Verse 2 E Oh please don’t seat us in the back, With all the insects and the trash E She is a lady I’m the tramp Collecting stares from pairs close by, Then flutters in a butterfly E Ew just a moth drawn to the lamp Pre-Chorus 2 A2 She’s like an ancient artifact E Something you’re lucky to have found C# She’ll pinch the nerves in all the necks A2 When she turns those heads around, those heads around Chorus Intro Riff 2x Chorus Chords: C# e|-0-|-0-|--x--| B|-0-|-0-|--x--| G|-1-|-2-|--x--| D|-2-|-2-|--4--| A|-2-|-0-|--1--| E|-0-|---|-----| Follow me on Twitter: @HRchoni
