Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 1st

Key: C

♫ Intro:

C



♫ Verse 1:
C
Sometimes I'll catch fireflies

And watch the way they light the sky
  F
And pave the way
  C
For stars to follow their own path

Why can't I be like that instead?
  F
I'm lead astray

♫ Chorus:
 Dm
I wish I were a firefly
  G
To light up the night sky just by
  C         C7     F
The fear that I might damage expectations
  Dm
Oh, if I were a firefly
  G
The songs I sing just might suffice
  C              C7
And maybe I won't disappoint the way I know I will
    F
If I continue on this road I'm down
  Dm               C
The feeling that I'm gonna drown at any given moment
   C7                F
Underneath the weight of the words you say
      G
Let me fly away
      C
Like a firefly


♫ Verse 2:
C
Hey, who's that girl in the news?

Those are words she'll never lose
 F
Isn't she great?
C
She'll go places, that's for sure

She has a future, she's secure
    F
That's what they say

♫ Chorus:
 Dm
I wish I were a firefly
  G
To light up the night sky just by
  C         C7     F
The fear that I might damage expectations
  Dm
Why can't I be a firefly?
  G
No cares about the pairs of eyes
   C               C7
That constantly are watching every single little move I make
 F               Dm
I know that if I don't succeed, all those people watching me
   C
Will turn their backs in disappointment
 C7                F
Pretending that my failures are okay
          G
Please let me fly away
      C
Like a firefly


♫ Bridge:
Dm
Let me grow a pair of wings
  G
Let go of all the little things
   C      C7       F
That people say about me every day
  Dm
For once, just let me close my eyes
G
Lie into the purple sky
   C      C7      F
And let the expectations fade away
Dm
If there's nothing else to lose
  G
The one big thing that I would choose
  C       C7         F
Is letting myself believe that it's okay


♫ Pre-Chorus:
      Dm
'Cause self-doubt can cause a small delay

Perfection isn't my forté
  G
Why can't I let go of what they say?


♫ Chorus:
 Dm
I wish I were a firefly
  G
To light up the night sky just by
  C         C7     F
The fear that I might damage expectations
  Dm
Oh, if I were a firefly
  G
The songs I sing just might suffice
  C              C7
And maybe I won't disappoint the way I know I will
    F
If I continue on this road I'm down
  Dm               C
The feeling that I'm gonna drown at any given moment
   C7                F
Underneath the weight of the words you say
      G
Let me fly away
      C
Like a firefly
