Venus Fly Tabulatur von Michael Guy Bowman

Am G F [2x]

Am G F
Little fly, don’t you die so easy
Am G F
I know you only live a day
Am G F
Weathered by the winds so high and breezy
C E7
Don’t you let this evening slip away

Am G F
Little legs hatch from eggs each morning
Am G F
Silhouettes hardly ever change
Am G F
Stomach begs the musky dregs adorning
C E
For a taste of something new and strange

C G
Oh, open up your eyes
Am G F
Can’t you see you’re falling for the Venus Fly?
C G
Oh, won’t you tell me why
Am G F
You keep living like you’re never gonna die?

Am G F
Little speck, don’t you wreck your wingspan
Am G F
The beating of which gives to you your name
Am G F
Keep in check below your neck for things can
C E7
So easily be plucked upon your frame

Am G F
Spiders crawling forest walls you’ve thwarted
Am G F
You circumvent the snatch of froggy tongue
Am G F
The birds who call from perches tall you’ve shorted
C E
But on this fang you let yourself be hung?

C G
Oh, open up your eyes
Am G F
Can’t you see you’re falling for the Venus Fly?
C G
Oh, won’t you tell me why
Am G F
You keep living like you’re never gonna die?

D7
Never gonna die
Am
Don’t you know that it’s a lie?
D7
You were only passing by for a try, another high,
C G
Now the jaws will never pry

Am G F
"Come and play," you hear it say so sweetly
Am G F
Nothing else had ever been so bold
Am G F
But where you lay it's had its way discreetly
C E7
With all the rest who never grew so old

Am G F
The same disease that lures the bees to pollen
Am G F
Pulls you where no free thing should involve
Am G F
In the squeeze of this the tease you’ve fallen
C E
Now to feel your body be dissolved

C G
Oh, open up your eyes
Am G F
Can’t you see you’re falling for the Venus Fly?
C G
Oh, won’t you tell me why
Am G F
You keep living like you’re never gonna die?

D7
Never gonna die
Am
Don’t you know that it’s a lie?
D7
You were only passing by for a try, another high,
C G
Now the jaws will never pry

Am G F
