EmCGB
I am the moth beating his wings against the dusty window
EmCGB
Outside of your dull, fluorescent light
EmC
Youth was dark with the simple things
GB
You had your light, I had my wings
EmCGB
You were the brightest star in the black night
F#m
My fluorescent girl in the city light
[Chorus]
AC#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite?
F#mG
How long 'til you are mine?
DC#m
Today, tonight? Today, tonight?
F#mG
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)
EmC
Ours is a desperate song
GB
"You're not that bright, I'm not that strong"
EmCGB
And our outcome looks exceedingly clear
F#mF
We are always separate, always near
[Chorus]
AC#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite?
F#mG
How long 'til you are mine?
DC#m
Today, tonight? Today, tonight?
F#mG
How long, my fluorescent light, oh-oh-oh?
AC#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite?
F#mG
How long 'til you run out of light?
DC#mF#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]
DC#m
When you lead me on
DC#m
With your pseudo sun
DC#m
Your light might not be all that bright
F#mC#m
But in the dark, it feels so strong
BBbFB
And my wings can't last this long
[Verse 1]
EmCGB
You were the brightest star in the black night
N.C.
My fluorescent girl in the city light
[Chorus]
AC#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite? (Ah-ah)
F#mG
How long 'til you are mine? (Ah-ah)
DC#m
Today, tonight? Today, tonight? (Ah-ah)
F#mG
How long, my fluorescent light, oh-oh-oh? (Ah-ah)
AC#m
How long, my fluorescent favorite? (Ah-ah)
F#mG
How long 'til you run out of light? (Ah-ah)
DC#mF#m
A year, a month, a day, a night? (Ah-ah)

How long, my fluorescent light? (Ah-ah)
