[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I changed the [F]locks
But your key, your [Dm]key's still [Am]working
You can't train a moth I guess
[F]Oh, each bea[Am]st gets her burden
So we circle [Em]this old [Am]flame
[F]Too much at stake
[Am]But too late to change
My nerves are shot
My reserves exhausted
[F]It's a tired plo[Am]t, but we bought it
Now we're lost
Between love and [Em]cholera
[F]Saccharine read - such
a [Am]sentimental novel
Give you cavities if it doesn't
drive you to the [Em]bottle
As [F]for me, I'll take another kerosene
[Dm]If you've got [Am]it something harder
Built like a moth you see
And I [F]still get chills when you [Dm]talk to me
[Am]But the years pass by now
In twos and threes
These [F]thrills ain't as cheap
As [Am]they used to be

[Verse 2]
If you're [Am]asking, [Em]I can't say no[F]
Just [Am]one more chapter
[Em]Our book[Am] won't close[F]
And [Am]I know it's madness
[Em]To play these odds[F]
[Dm]It's like [Em]giving [Am]matches [Em]to paper
[F]To paper dol[Dm]ls[Am][Em]
[F]
[Dm]I kn[G]ow[Am][Em][F]
[G]it's mad[Am] ness,
[Em][F][G]
[Am]I kn[Em]ow[F][Am]
Tried sweet [Em]talk, tried dynamite

[Verse 3]
[F]
But I [Am]sleepwalk, back to the battle site
Fight fire with fire but the
[Em]fire won't [F]fight
We just fly [Am]these circles like tired kites
You [Em]flash some [F]fang
And I [Am]bat my l[G]ashes[Am]
And we're back again
[F]No end to this gam[Am]e with
matches
We've been lovers and strangers
and friends who get [Em]angry
Made [F]mistakes and amends and brief
[Am]moments of magic
We forgive and forget
and give in to attraction
This [F]whole thing depends on am
[Am]nesia and magnets
I'd be leaving for good,
I'd be looking for better
But I [F]got this broken habit I keep
[Am]gluing back together
The fervor the fire the feathers,
this fever defies [Em]measure
And good [F]sense won't venture,
where the [Am]moth won't let it

[Verse 4]
If you're [Em]asking, I can't say [F]no
Just [Em]one more [Am]chapter
[Em]Our book won't[F] close
And [Am]I know it's madness
To [Em]play these [F]odds
It's like [Am]giving [Em]matches to paper
[F]To paper dol[Dm]ls[Am][Em][F][Dm][Am][Em]
[F][Dm][Am]
[Em][F][Dm]
[Am][Em][F][Dm]
[Am][Em][F]
[G][Am][Em][F]
[Am]I kn[G]ow it's [Am]madness, I[Em][F]
[Am]know[Em][F]
[Am]
