Fireflies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Whe[Em]n the[C] s[Em]treet lights[C]
come on and [Em]the fireflies flicker
I am [C]walking her home
Making [Em]plans

[Verse 2]
With her [C]shoes in her hands I
am [Em]watching her dance
As the hem [C]of her dress [Em]gently
kisses the grass
[C][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Dsus4]
It [Dm]suddenly [G]rains on us
She [Dm]is laughing and [C]turns up [Bb]her hands
Like [C]autumn turns

[Verse 4]
leaves
Winter will [G]breathe cold on our [Am]necks
Snow in [F]our paths
Wherever she [C]goes
All that I [G]know about us is that beau
[Dm]tiful things never last
[F]That's why fireflies fla[C]sh
[Em][C]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
When this [C]summer time ends we
will [Em]not part as friends
Things were [C]promised in blood
We have [Em]sinned

[Verse 6]
Now there's [C]tears in her eyes
as she's [Em]screaming goodbyes
I run [C]'long side the car
Turn[Em]ing numb to the sound
[C][Em]

[Verse 7]
[Dsus4]
I [Dm]no tice a [G]chill in the air
[Dm]September is [C]creeping [Bb]up fast
[C]Like autumn turns

[Verse 8]
leaves
Winter will [G]breathe cold on our [Am]necks
Snow in [F]our paths
Wherever she [C]goes
All that I [G]know about us is that beau
[Dm]tiful things never last
[F]That's why fireflies fla[C]sh[Em]

[Verse 9]
[Am]Inno[F]cence didn't mean we're
immune to these things
[Dm]Let's blame the passage [G]of time
[Am]Love and loss
[F]Truth
It costs more than I can spare right now
[Dm]Maybe it's simpler to lie
[G]

[Verse 10]
Like autum[C]n turns leaves
Winter will [G]breathe cold on our [Am]necks
Snow in our [F]paths
Wherever she [C]goes
All that [G]I know about us is that beau
[Dm]tiful things never last
[F]That's why fireflies fla[C]sh[Em]

[Verse 11]
[C]Oh
Oh
[Em]That's why fireflies flash[C][Em]
Oh
[C]Oh
[Em][C]
