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

  My fluorescent girl in the city light

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

  We are always separate, always near

How long, my fluorescent light?

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

And my wings can't last this long
