Ron Pope-Fireflies
Intro-  C#   Fmx2
When the sC#treetlights come on and the fFmireflies flicker,
I am C#walking her home making planFms.
With her C#shoes in her hands, I am watFmching her dance,
As the C#hem of her dress gently Fmkisses the grass.
C# Fm
EbIt suddenly Bbrains on F#9us,
EbShe is laughing Eband turns up her F#9hands.
Like autumn turns C#leaves, winter will G#breathe, cold on our Bbmnecks,
Snow in our F#9paths.
Wherever she C#goes, all that I G#know about us is that beaBbmutiful things never 
F#9last. Thats why fireflies flash
 C#   Fmx2
When this C#summertime ends, we will Fmnot part as friends,
Things were C#promised in blood, we have Fmsinned.
Now there's C#tears in her eyes as she's Fmscreaming goodbyes
I run 'C#long side the car turning Fmnumb to the sound.
C# Fm
EbI notice a Bbmchill in the F#9air,
EbSeptember is creeping up F#9fast.
Like autumn turns C#leaves, winter will G#breathe, cold on our Bbmnecks,
Snow in our F#9paths.
Wherever she C#goes, all that I G#know about us is that beaBbmutiful things never 
F#9last. Thats why fireflies flash
C# Fm
EbInnocence didn't mF#9ean we're immune to these things,
BbmLet's blame the passage of G#time
EbLove and loss, truth it coF#9sts more than I can spare right now.
BbmMaybe it's simpler to G#lie.
Like autumn turns C#leaves, winter will G#breathe, cold on our Bbmnecks,
Snow in our F#9paths.
Wherever she C#goes, all that I G#know about us is that beaBbmutiful things never 
F#9last. Thats why fireflies flash
