Intro:

E  B   A   E

E                             B
If you break these moth wing feelings
                      A
Powdery dust on your fingers
                                 E
Well no we're not praying we're kneeling.
                               B
Hard enough just to say you believe them
                                       A
Well how the heck'dya think you could beat them
                                         E
At the same time that you're trying to be them
                                       B
Hard enough just to say you don't need it when they
                                 A
Serve it up well you will still eat it
                             E
Well satellite and satellite skin


E                                    B
Just to knock just to say you don't visit
                                   A
Well, when everybody's willing to listen
                            E
Oh satellite, satellite skin
                                  B
You can say what you want you're forgiven
                            A
Well happy fucking congratulations
                    E
Everyone, everyone wins
                              B
Just like being my own solar system
                                     A
Doing good things but then totally eclipse them

Oh what's the use, oh what the hell

E                             B
If you break these moth wing feelings
                        A
Butterfly knives in the ceiling
                           E
Well everyone, everyone's waiting
                            B
Detachments get praised and completed
                                  A
You can say what you want and not mean it
                               E
When no one really seems to be waiting
                               B
If you sweep up this mess I've created
                          A
Nothing's left to show I existed
                           E
Oh satellite, satellite skin

Bridge:

(no chord)         A
Asking for a question
B       C#     A                      B
Was it easier said than was actually done?
        C#          A
Do you even believe that
B        C#         A
Do you even believe that there's a race to be won?

E                             B
If you break these moth wing feelings
                     A
I have seen it all become satellite skin
                    E
Orbiting some eyes
E                    B
A knack to not thats not their opinions
                A                             E
Get stacked in all those usual avoided spots
E                             B
Just to tell you how I could not have seen
                        A
Through to the gist of those unhappy
                 E
Happy accidents


Enjoy! Dave K
