Intro Riff
Guitar 2 (starting at the second part of Guitar 1's Intro Riff)
[A2] [E] [A2]
Verse 1
[E]To know her, is to love her, I'm going undercover
[A2]To catch a glimpse but not get caught[E]
But to see her, could be worse, If I don't get my head straight first
[A2]On second thought I guess I'll not[E]
Pre-Chorus 1
[Bb/C#]She's almost brighter than the s[A2]un
Seems to me to be un[E]fair
When you consider ever[Bb/C#]yone
Who pales when they co[A2]mpare, when they compare
Chorus
[E]Can?t hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the w[A2]ay
And they?ll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it fr[E]ays
For she outshines anyone whoever might
[Bb/C#]Dare to bask in [A2]the same candleli[E]ght
Intro Riff
Verse 2
[E]Oh please don?t seat us in the back, With all the insects and the trash
[A2]She is a lady I?m the tra[E]mp
Collecting stares from pairs close by, Then flutters in a butterfly
[A2]Ew just a moth drawn to the l[E]amp
Pre-Chorus 2
[Bb/C#]She?s like an ancient artif[A2]act
Something you?re lucky to have f[E]ound
She?ll pinch the nerves in all the [Bb/C#]necks
When she turns those heads ar[A2]ound, those heads around
Chorus
Intro Riff 2x
