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 E
To catch a glimpse but not get caught
But to see her, could be worse, If I don't get my head straight first
A2 E
On second thought I guess I'll not
Pre-Chorus 1
Bb/C# A2
She's almost brighter than the sun
E
Seems to me to be unfair
Bb/C#
When you consider everyone
A2
Who pales when they compare, when they compare
[Refrão]
E
Can’t hold a candle to her
A2
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they’ll begin to chew her
E
Entire attire until it frays
For she outshines anyone whoever might
Bb/C# A2 E
Dare to bask in the same candlelight
Intro Riff
Verse 2
E
Oh please don’t seat us in the back, With all the insects and the trash
A2 E
She is a lady I’m the tramp
Collecting stares from pairs close by, Then flutters in a butterfly
A2 E
Ew just a moth drawn to the lamp
Pre-Chorus 2
Bb/C# A2
She’s like an ancient artifact
E
Something you’re lucky to have found
Bb/C#
She’ll pinch the nerves in all the necks
A2
When she turns those heads around, those heads around
