Intro:  (Bm   G)


  Bm
If moths could light matches,
      G
this world would be ashes.
           Em                 G           Bm           ---   G 
and they'd cling to the white hem of your dress.

         Bm
Well, we dance in the dust storm,
        G
and I'd spin you around.
         Em
And we'd count all our blessings, 
      G
throw our burdens down.

      D                  G       Em        G
Just content to be lonesome as a whistling train, 
       D           G                  Em            G
oh, I wish it were different but it's always the same.

And I wish I was sober again.

Well I'd write you a letter,

Oh, I'd seal it with lies.
        Em    
And I'd hold you forever, 
   G
in my arms tonight.

oh, I wish it were different but things will be things, will be things...

If moths could light ashes, this world would be ashes.
      Em         G           Bm                ----   G
Just cinders and remnants of flame.

You can wish till your shaking,

You can wish till you turn blue, 
    G
And exhaustion sets in...

God, I wish it was different, but it's always the same
