Fireflies chords by Dave Hause

Verse 1:


G
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
Shining bright right back at me like you saw something in mine

D
Lighting up the August night like dizzy fireflies

G
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
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                         G
This whole world lost its mind


Chorus:


G
Can you meet me there tonight?

Em
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine

G
Like when we were young and wild eyed

C                            D
We had nothing but plenty of time

G   C         G
Lit under the fireflies


Verse 2:


G
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
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
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
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                   G
I'll hold you if we drown


Chorus:


G
Can you meet me there tonight?

Em
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine

G
Like when we were young and wild eyed

C                            D
We had nothing but plenty of time

G   C         G
Lit under the fireflies

Interlude:

G Em C D

Chorus:


G
Can you meet me there tonight?

Em
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine

G
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
Right when we were young and wild eyed

C                            D
We had nothing but plenty of time

C             G   Em
Lit under the fireflies

C             G   Em
Lit under the fireflies

C             G   C
Lit under the fireflies
