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