Verse:
D                              F#m
Summer in Suburbia we'd catch fireflies
         Bm                       A
Put them in a jar and watch them die
D                            F#m
You and me baby we could of gone so far
           Bm                                    A
Could have had two cars and lived a sweet sweet lie

Chorus:
Em                                                  D
And everyone's telling me now that you were just my best friend
Em                                       A
And how can I explain to them that some things never end

Verse:
D                            F#m
And the years go by and the lights go dim
             Bm                              A
And when she thinks of him does she start to cry

Instrumental:
D  F#m  Bm  A    D  F#m  Bm  A

Verse:
D                                                 F#m
And there must have been a thousand times I could have had your hand
             Bm                                     A
I could have been your man, you could have been my light
D                                   F#m
And the reasons why they don't count anymore
           Bm                        A
I put them in a drawer the night we died

Chorus:
Em                                 D
And all those books that tell you just what to do
Em                                          A
They don't matter now because I think you always knew

Verse:
D                                      F#m
And the children run and play and they mark the time
            Bm                      A
Before they get in line with me and you

Instrumental:
