_ _ _ [C#] When the streetlights come on and the [Fm] _
fireflies flicker
I [C#] am walking her home [Fm] making plans
_ With [C#] her shoes in her hands
I am [Fm] watching her dance as [C#] the helm of her dress [Fm] gently _
_ _ [C#] Kisses the grass
It _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ [D#m] _ suddenly [G#] rains on us
She is [D#m] laughing [C#] and turns up [B] her [F#] hands _ _ _
And [C#] like autumn turns to leaves
Winter [G#] will breathe
_ Cold [A#m] on our necks
[F#] Snow in our beds
_ Wherever she [C#] _
goes
All that [G#] matters _ _ _ is the [D#m] beautiful _ things
_ [F#] Nevertheless, that's why _ _ [C#]
fireflies _ flicker
_ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ When [C#] this summer time ends
We [Fm] will not part as friends
Things [C#] were promised in blood we [Fm] have sinned
_ Now [C#] there's tears in her eyes
As [Fm] she's screaming goodbyes
I [C#] run alongside the car [Fm] turning
_ _ Numb to [C#] the sound
I _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ [D#m] notice [G#] a chill in the air
_ [D#m]
September [C#] is creeping up _ _ fast _ _ _
And like autumn turns to leaves
Winter will [G#] _
breathe
Cold on [A#m] our necks
[F#] Snow in our beds
Wherever she [C#] _
goes
All that [G#] I know about us
Is [D#m] the beautiful things
_ [F#] Nevertheless, that's why _ _ [C#]
fireflies _ flicker _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A#m] _ _ [F#] Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these [D#]
things
Let's blame the [D#m] passage [G#] of time
_ _ _ [A#m] _
Love and loss, the truth it [F#] costs
More than I can spare right [D#m] now
Maybe it's simpler [G#] to lie _ _ _ _ _
And like [C#] autumn turns to leaves
Winter [G#] will breathe
_ Cold on [A#m] our necks
[F#] Snow in our beds
Wherever she [C#] _
goes
All that [G#] I know about us
Is the [D#m]
beautiful things
_ [F#] Nevertheless, that's why _ _ [C#]
fireflies _ flicker
