grim tales by fairy lights

we sat mesmerised, mesmerised
G+G   A minorAm G+G
dancing iridescence
D MajorD         A minorAm     C majorC G+G A minorAm
in your eyes like fireflies
C majorC        G+G
partners in devilment
D MajorD          A minorAm
we grabbed each day, unafraid

but the cold hands of consequence

broke the spell and wrecked the game

oh, the sun went down today

from those fireflies
