[VERSE 1]

 A                   G#m            G                  F#
Love is like a white moth sipping tears from sleeping birds
   F                   E
An asteroid in flames tumbling to Earth

[CHORUS]

 A                 F         A               F
Raindrops sliding down the stems of orange leaves
      A             F           A                  F
The flicker of a strange light far out across the sea

A

[VERSE 2]

 A                   G#m  G              F#
Love is like a black fly buzzing in the sun
 F                     E
Circling and landing, dancing like it's drunk

[Fill 1]

[CHORUS]

A               F           A               F
All around the red apples scattered on the lawn
 A             F       A                    F
Fallen in the fury of last night's thunderstorm

A

[VERSE 3]

 A               G#m   G                      F#
Love is like the hole torn right through the roof
           F                    E
When that old sugar pine came crashing down last night

[Fill 1]

[CHORUS]

      A                F             A                F
And above the broken beams and the shattered ceiling tiles
 A            F                A          F
You can see starlight for the very first time
