[Intro] E B A E [Verse 1]
E                             B
If you break these moth wing feelings

                      A
Powdery dust on your fingers

                                 E
Well no we're not praying we're kneeling.

                               B
Hard enough just to say you believe them

                                       A
Well how the heck'dya think you could beat them

                                         E
At the same time that you're trying to be them

                                       B
Hard enough just to say you don't need it when they

                                 A
Serve it up well you will still eat it

                             E
Well satellite and satellite skin
[Verse 2]
E                                    B
Just to knock just to say you don't visit

                                   A
Well, when everybody's willing to listen

                            E
Oh satellite, satellite skin

                                  B
You can say what you want you're forgiven

                            A
Well happy fucking congratulations

                    E
Everyone, everyone wins

                              B
Just like being my own solar system

                                     A
Doing good things but then totally eclipse them
Oh what's the use, oh what the hell solo

[Verse 3]
E                             B
If you break these moth wing feelings

                        A
Butterfly knives in the ceiling

                           E
Well everyone, everyone's waiting

                            B
Detachments get praised and completed

                                  A
You can say what you want and not mean it

                               E
When no one really seems to be waiting

                               B
If you sweep up this mess I've created

                          A
Nothing's left to show I existed

                           E
Oh satellite, satellite skin
Bridge:
 N.C         A        B
Asking for a question

       C#m     A                      B
Was it easier said than was actually done?

       C#m          A     B
Do you even believe that

      C#m         A
Do you even believe that there's a race to be won?

[Verse 4]
E                             B
If you break these moth wing feelings

                     A
I have seen it all become satellite skin

                    E
Orbiting some eyes

E                    B
A knack to not thats not their opinions

                A                             E
Get stacked in all those usual avoided spots

E                             B
Just to tell you how I could not have seen

                        A
Through to the gist of those unhappy

                 E
Happy accidents
