Verse 1:
Em            C                             G             B
I am the moth beating his wings against the dusty window
Em              C                        G  B
Outside of your dull, fluorescent light
Em                      C
Youth was dark with the simple things
    G                 B
You had your light, I had my wings
Em                       C                        G  B
  You were the brightest star in the black night

 How long, my fluorescent favorite?

N.C.                                           G  B
The spiders, and the ants, and the dance goes
N.C.                                  G  B
Two by two into arks of oblivion (Ha)
Em          C
  Ours is a desperate song
        G                    B
"You're not that bright, I'm not that strong"
Em                C                       G  B
  And our outcome looks exceedingly clear

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


Verse 1:
Em                       C                         G  B
