C/E

[Intro]

Em D G C

C G Am G D

Em D G C

Thirty years ago I was a little girl

C G Am G D

Riding in the back seat of the car

Em D G C

A woman sang 'You don't bring me flowers anymore.'

C G Am G D

I felt the sadness in my little heart

[Chorus 1]

Em D C G D

We're looking for the music

Em C G

In the music box

Em D C G D

Tearing it to pieces

Em C G

Trying to find a song

Em D G C C/E

I was drawn to you in ways I can't explain

C G Am G D

I fought like crazy but I couldn't stay away

Em D G C C/E

Piled on expectations and lots of blame

C G Am G D

Like we couldn't do it any other way

[Chorus 2]

Em D C G D

We're looking for a firefly

Em C G

Moving through the night

Em D C G D

Staring at that one place

Em C G

Swear it never lights

[Interlude]

Em D G C

C G Am G D

Em D G C

C G Am G D

[Chorus 1]

Em D C G D

We're looking for the music

Em C G

In the music box

Em D C G D

Tearing it to pieces

Em C G

Trying to find a song

Em D G C

Were you surprised our hearts were not like ticking clocks?

C G Am G D

The faces and hands easy to read

Em D G C

We both wished 'if only in the land of Oz.'

C G Am G D

And longed for things we'd never really need

[Chorus 3]

Em D C G

Now we're standing in the kitchen

Em C G

All pretense is gone

Em D C G

You kiss me on the shoulder

Em C

Fireflies ...

Em D G Am C G D C D G
