Em C G B
I am the moth beating his wings against the dusty window
Em C G B
Outside of your dull, fluorescent light
Em C
Youth was dark with the simple things
G B
You had your light, I had my wings
Em C G B
You were the brightest star in the black night
F#m
My fluorescent girl in the city light
[Chorus]
A C#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite?
F#m G
How long 'til you are mine?
D C#m
Today, tonight? Today, tonight?
F#m G
How long, my fluorescent light?
[Verse 2]
N.C. G B
The spiders, and the ants, and the dance goes
N.C. G B
Two by two into arks of oblivion (Ha)
Em C
Ours is a desperate song
G B
"You're not that bright, I'm not that strong"
Em C G B
And our outcome looks exceedingly clear
F#m F
We are always separate, always near
[Chorus]
A C#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite?
F#m G
How long 'til you are mine?
D C#m
Today, tonight? Today, tonight?
F#m G
How long, my fluorescent light, oh-oh-oh?
A C#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite?
F#m G
How long 'til you run out of light?
D C#m F#m
A year, a month, a day, a night?
G
How long, my fluorescent light?
[Interlude]
| F#m | F#m | F#m | F#m |
| D | C#m | F#m | C#m |
[Bridge]
D C#m
When you lead me on
D C#m
With your pseudo sun
D C#m
Your light might not be all that bright
F#m C#m
But in the dark, it feels so strong
B Bb F B
And my wings can't last this long
[Verse 1]
Em C G B
You were the brightest star in the black night
N.C.
My fluorescent girl in the city light
[Chorus]
A C#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite? (Ah-ah)
F#m G
How long 'til you are mine? (Ah-ah)
D C#m
Today, tonight? Today, tonight? (Ah-ah)
F#m G
How long, my fluorescent light, oh-oh-oh? (Ah-ah)
A C#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite? (Ah-ah)
F#m G
How long 'til you run out of light? (Ah-ah)
D C#m F#m
A year, a month, a day, a night? (Ah-ah)
G
How long, my fluorescent light? (Ah-ah)
