_ _ Me and
D Charlie Boy used to
A go walking, _ _
D sitting in the woods behind
A my house.
_ _
D _
G Being
D lovers,
A man, of stolen kiss, holding hands with nobody
E else around.
_ _
A Charlie
D said he wanted to
A get married, _ _
D but we were only ten so
A we had to wait.
_ _
D Said we never let our
A love run dry like so
E many
A do these days.
_
D So we treat our love like a firefly, like it only
A gets to shine _
E A for a little while.
_
D Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top and
A run like hell _ to show it off.
_ _
G Oh, mama says we make when
E we go walking, _
G that's just
D me
E and
A Charlie talking.
_ _ _ _ .
_ _ Charlie always said he'd like to leave here.
_
D He turned eighteen and left our
A sleepy town.
_ _
D Letters came and went and
A I kept waiting for Charlie to come back and bring the
E life he'd found.
_ _
A Funny
D how time and
A distance change you.
D The road you take don't always
A lead you home.
_ _
D You can start a love with
A good intentions and you'll
E look up
A and it's gone.
D So you treat your love like a firefly, like it only
E gets
A to shine
E A for a little while.
_
D Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
A and run like _ hell to show it off.
_
G Oh, mama says we make when
E we go walking, _
G that's just
D me
E and
A Charlie talking.
_ _ _ _ .
Now _ _ _
D _
A _ _ .
_ _ and then I sometimes think of Charlie, _ _ how we
D thought we knew it
A all back then.
_ _
D Now I'd give anything
A to feel love from a child's heart again.
D So you treat your love like a firefly, like it only
E gets
A to shine for a little while.
_
D Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top and
E run
A like hell to show it off.

G Oh, mama says we make when
E we go walking, _
G that's just
D.
E me and Charlie _ _
A talking.
