Firefly Ukulele chords by Erin Haugen

• 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
