"Closer" by CAUTERIZE
Intro: Em | C | G | D (x2)
Verse 1:
Em C
What started out as desire
G D
turned into a lover's tryst
Em C
Who knew a moth and a flame
G D
could ever spawn a love like this
Em C
Now you need something
G
To taste something just
D Em
a little bit more sweet
C G
But I am sour and more sour
D
every time that our lips meet
Refrain:
C D
If you're a butterfly
Em
I'm suicide by insecticide
C D
If I am kerosene then you're
Em
a spark just begging to ignite
C D Em
You'll wish you never met me
C D
Butterfly butterfly float on by me

Chorus:
Em C G
Never meant to cut so deep
D Em
Just enough to bleed
C
Feel the sting as
G
you get closer
D
Closer and closer to me
Em C
Don’t let me hold
G
something so delicate
D
I'll shatter it with a word
Em C
Don't say a thing as we
G
get closer and closer
D
Damn this is gonna hurt
Verse 2:
Em C
The ghost of pathetic past is
G D
haunting me here more and more
Em C G
Skeletons are laughing at
D
me through the closet door
Em
And now past lovers
C G
share these covers
D Em
Sleeping with my enemies
C
Thoughts of others
G
come between us
D
Trigger fits of jealousy
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
Interlude: Fm | G/B | C | D
Bridge:
Am G/B C
You can paint me pretty colours
D Am
And dress me how you like
G/B C
I'm just an ugly moth in love
D Am
In a butterfly disguise
G/B
I've been thinking about leaving
since the day that we met
C
If I don't get close when
D
it's all over I'll just forget
Am
Cause I have seen the end
G/B
So many times I've
played it in my mind
C
And I am scared to death
D
I never wanna see your dark side
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
