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)
