Key: F
Verse :
F F/A
I was just a brittle stone
Bb
Buried in the earth alone
Gm
Wondering if I'd ever leave the ground
F F/A
Then one day a passerby
Bb
Threw me over the lake and I
Gm F
Skipped and for a moment I could fly
Chorus:
Eb Bb F
Oh why, oh why?
Eb Bb F
Oh why, oh why?
Verse 2:
F F/A
I ran back to find your hand
Bb
Hoping you'd throw me again
Gm F
And that was when we rose into the air
F F/A
Now we're both just fireflies
Bb
Staring up at starry skies
Gm F
Doing all we can, shine a light
Chorus 2:
Eb Bb F
Oh why, oh why?
Eb Ab F
Oh why, oh why?
Eb Bb F
Oh why, oh why?
Eb Ab F
Oh why, oh why?
