Moth In The Incubator

The Flaming Lips


Tom: F#m

Dm                G                 Cmaj7
Something in you, it jitters like a moth
Dm        G                         Cmaj7
And I see that your arms are out to God
Dm      G                       Cmaj7
And oh, they kill you when they talk
Dm                       G                     Cmaj7           E
It makes a mountain peak seem little when it's not
