Chorus: 
     G           C                   G        
LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME I'M GOING TO GET BURNED
     
                D7                    G
YOU'LL TEACH ME A LESSON I NEVER COULD LEARN

                  C                   G
LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME THE TABLES HAVE TURNED

                  D7                 G
BUT YOU EASE MY PAIN LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME

 
                                   C                     G
IT'S JUST A HEARTBEAT SHY OF THREE A.M., COLD RAIN FALLIN' DOWN

                         D7                          G
THERE'LL BE NO SUNRISE TODAY IN THIS LITTLE COUNTRY TOWN
                         
                         C                             G                          
AS I STAND OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW I SEE YOUR SHADOW ON THE SHADE

                       D7                      G
OH, IT HELPS ME TO REMEMBER ALL THE PROMISES WE MADE


                             C                           G
I'M AFRAID TO LOOK INTO YOUR EYES THAT SHINE LIKE MIDNIGHT STARS

                            D7                            G
AFRAID OF WHAT I MIGHT FIND THERE, THAT OUR LOVE HAS GONE TOO FAR

                            C                        G
THERE'S A LIGHT ON IN YOUR WINDOW, I KNOW IT'S WARM INSIDE

                                D7                                 G
WHEN YOU PRESS YOUR LIPS TO MINE DEAR I'LL FORGET ALL THE TEARS I'VE CRIED
