Thirty years ago I was a little girl

  C majorC   G+G   A minorAm    G+G    D MajorD
Riding in the back seat of the car

  E minorEm  D MajorD   G+G         C majorC
A augmentedA woman sang 'You don't bring me flowers anymore.'

  C majorC   G+G   A minorAm    G+G    D MajorD
I felt the sadness in my little heart

Chorus 1:

    E minorEm      D MajorD C majorC G+G  D MajorD
We're looking for the music

 E minorEm  C majorC   G+G
In the music box

E minorEm     D MajorD C majorC G+G  D MajorD
Tearing it to pieces

 E minorEm    C majorC   G+G
Trying to find a song


 E minorEm  D MajorD    G+G      C majorC       C/EC/E
I was drawn to you in ways I can't explain

  C majorC   G+G   A minorAm    G+G    D MajorD
I fought like crazy but I couldn't stay away

 E minorEm   D MajorD   G+G      C majorC      C/EC/E
Piled on expectations and lots of blame

   C majorC   G+G   A minorAm    G+G    D MajorD
Like we couldn't do it any other way


Chorus 2:

     E minorEm     D MajorD C majorC G+G  D MajorD
We're looking for a firefly

 E minorEm  C majorC     G+G
Moving through the night

E minorEm      D MajorD C majorC G+G   D MajorD
Staring at that one place

 E minorEm    C majorC   G+G
Swear it never lights

Chorus 1:

    E minorEm      D MajorD C majorC G+G  D MajorD
We're looking for the music

 E minorEm  C majorC   G+G
In the music box

E minorEm     D MajorD C majorC G+G  D MajorD
Tearing it to pieces

 E minorEm    C majorC   G+G
Trying to find a song


   E minorEm  D MajorD     G+G          C majorC
Were you surprised our hearts were not like ticking clocks?

  C majorC   G+G    A minorAm  G+G  D MajorD
The faces and hands easy to read

E minorEm   D MajorD     G+G      C majorC
We both wished 'if only in the land of Oz.'

   C majorC   G+G    A minorAm  G+G  D MajorD
And longed for things we'd never really need


Chorus 3:

      E minorEm       D MajorD C majorC G+G
Now we're standing in the kitchen

 E minorEm  C majorC    G+G
All pretense is gone

  E minorEm     D MajorD C majorC G+G
You kiss me on the shoulder

 E minorEm C majorC
Fireflies ...
