Fireflies

Tom: G

G                                                     G/F#
I've got a sepia toned Polaroid of you from days gone by
Em
You look so good in shades but I wish I could see your eyes
C                    G                   C                G
Shining bright right back at me like you saw something in mine
D
Lighting up the August night like dizzy fireflies

G                                                                 G/F#
If we saved a thousand dollars back then we knew we would be fine
Em
We'd sneak into the golf course back when all we had was time
C                  G             C              G
We'd lie under the fireflies and drink a box of wine
D
Long before you wanted more and this whole world lost its mind
C                         D
This whole world lost its mind


[Chorus]

G                             G/F#
Can you meet me there tonight?
Em
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine
C                          D        Em 
Like when we were young and wild eyed
C                            D
We had nothing but plenty of time
C             D    G
Lit under the fireflies


[Verse 2]

G                                                              G/F#
If I can double up my salary, next year we might afford a house
Em
I could work away my fingerprints, grind the teeth out of my mouth
C                             G                  C             G
You said if we can't find our hope, we'll end up living by our fear
D
But every day seems less ok and it hasn't been our year

G                                                           G/F#
I'm older now and all I know how is to work to see your face
Em
Smiling proud, knowing we carved out some tiny little space
C                            G                 C               G
But this clock just keeps on ticking, we can't seem to slow it down
D
Let's kick against the current and I'll hold you if we drown
C                   D
I'll hold you if we drown


[Chorus]

G                             G/F#
Can you meet me there tonight?
Em
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine
C                          D         Em
Like when we were young and wild eyed
C                            D
We had nothing but plenty of time
C             D    G
Lit under the fireflies

[Interlude]

G Em C D

[Chorus]

G                             G/F#
Can you meet me there tonight?
Em
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine
C                          D          Em
Like when we were young and wild eyed
C                            D
We had nothing but plenty of time
G
Meet me there tonight
Em
Meet me there tonight
C                            D        Em
Right when we were young and wild eyed
C                            D
We had nothing but plenty of time
C             D   Em
Lit under the fireflies
C             D   Em
Lit under the fireflies
C             D   G
Lit under the fireflies
