VERSE 1 (You can either keep repeating the intro it use these chords... vary the
progressions as you want.)
C Em
When the streetlights come on and the fireflies flicker,
C Em
I am walking her home making plans.
C Em
With her shoes in her hands, I am watching her dance,
C Em
As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass.
INTRO [X1]
Dsus4 Am Fadd9
It suddenly rains on us,
D Dsus4 Fadd9~
She is laughing and turns up her hands.
CHORUS 1
C G Am
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in
Fadd9
our paths.
C G Am
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never
Fadd9~
last, that's why fireflies flash.
INTRO [x2]
VERSE 2
C Em
When this summertime ends, we will not part as friends,
C Em
Things were promised in blood; we have sinned.
C Em
Now there's tears in her eyes as she's screaming goodbyes,
C Em
I run 'long side the car turning numb to the sound.
INTRO [X1]
Dsus4 Am Fadd9
I notice a chill in the air,
D Dsus4 Fadd9~
September is creeping up fast.
CHORUS 2
C G Am
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in
Fadd9
our paths
C G Am
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never
Fadd9~
last, that's why fireflies flash.
INTRO X1
BRIDGE
Dsus4 Fadd9
Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these things,
Am G
Let's blame the passage of time.
Dsus4 Fadd9
Love and loss, truth it costs more than I can spare right now.
Am G
Maybe it's simpler to lie...
FINAL CHORUS
C G Am
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on her necks, snow in
Fadd9
our paths.
C G Am
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never
Fadd9~
last, that's why fireflies flash.
INTRO [keep playing to fade out]
Ooooh.... That's why fireflies flash...
Ooooh....
END
all in all it's really simple and like someone told me before, a "heart melter".
tell me what you think, any criticism is welcome.
