[Intro]
   G     Cx2
[Verse 1]
 GTo know her is to love her, I'm goin' undercover
 CTo catch a glimpse but not get cauGght
GBut to see her could be worse, if I don't get my head straight first
 COn second thought I guess I'm nGot
[Pre-Chorus 1]
AShe's almost brighter than the sCun
Seems to me to be unfaGir, when you consider everyoAne
Who pales when they compCare, when they compare
[Chorus]
 GCan't hold a candle to her, 'cause all the moths get in the wCay
Then they'll begin to chew her entire attire until it fraGys
For she outshines anyone whoever might Adare to bask in Cthe same candlelGight
[Interlude]
(G)  C  
[Verse 2]
 GOh, please don't seat us in the back with all the insects and the trCash
She is a lady, I'm the trGamp
 GCollecting stares from pairs close by
Then flutters in the butterCfly
You, just a moth drawn to the lGamp
[Pre-Chorus 2]
AShe's like an ancient artiCfact, something you're lucky to have foGund
She'll pinch the nerves in all the neAcks
When she turns those heads arCound
Those heads around
[Chorus]
 GCan't hold a candle to her, 'cause all the moths get in the wCay
Then they'll begin to chew her entire attire until it fraGys
For she outshines anyone whoever might Adare to bask in Cthe same candlelGight
Who may Adare to bask in Cthe same candlelGight
[Interlude]
(G)     C     G  C  
[Pre-Chorus 3]
AShe's almost brighter than the sCun
Seems to me to be unfaGir, when you consider everyoAne
Who pales when they compCare, when they compare
[Chorus]
 GCan't hold a candle to her, 'cause all the moths get in the wCay
Then they'll begin to chew her entire attire until it frGays
For she outshines anyone whoever might Adare to bask in Cthe same candlelGight
In tA7he same cCandlelGight
