Fireflies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Jesus lying in his m[F#m]other'[F#sus4]s arms[F#m]
[B]Is a pho[G]ton released from a dying
[Em]star[B]
We move through the [F#m]forest [B]at night
The sky is full of momentary
light
And everything we need
is just too far
We are photons
released from a dying [D]star
We are [Em]fireflies a child has trapped in a [F#m]jar
[B]And everything is distant
as the stars
I am here and you are where you are
[D][E][F#m]

[Verse 2]
[B]
We have lived a long
time here in the forest
We lie beneath the heaps of leaves
We are [A]partial to this [Em]partial light
[E]We cannot sleep and fear
our [Em]dreams
There is no order here, nothing
can be planned
[E]We are fire[Em]flies trapped
in a little boy's hand
[A]And everything is distant
as the stars
[B]And I am [Em]here and [B]you are where you
[Em]are[B][E]
[Em][G][A]

[Verse 3]
[B]And we lie among our atoms and I speak
to you of things
And hope sometimes
that maybe you will understand
There is no order here [G]and
there is no middle ground
[D]Nothing can be predicted and
[E]nothing can be planned[B]
A star is just a memory of a star
We are fireflies pulsing
dimly in the dark
We are here and you are where
you are

[Outro 1]
We are here and [E]you are where you are
[Em][G][A]
[B][B]
