Fireflies Chords by Dave Hause

_ _ _ _ _ _ I've got a sepia-toned Polaroid of you from days gone by
[Em] You look so good in shades but I wish I could see your eyes
[D] Shining bright [G] right back at me [C] like you saw something in mine _
Lighting up the August night like dizzy fireflies
If we saved a thousand dollars back then we knew we would be fine
[Em] We'd sneak into the golf course back when all we had was time
We'd lie under [G] the fireflies [C] and drink a box of wine
[D] Long before you wanted more and this whole world lost its mind
[C] This whole world [G] lost its mind
Can you meet me there tonight?
_ I don't [Em] want nothing but [G] your hand in mine _ _
[C] Like when we were [D] young and wild, I
We [C] had nothing [G] but plenty of time
_ Lit [C] under [G] the _ fireflies _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ If I could double up my salary next year we might afford a house
[Em] I could work away my fingerprints, grind the teeth out of my mouth
You [C] said if we can't find [G] our hope we'll end [C] up living by [G] our fear
[D] But every day seems less okay and it hasn't been our year
[G] I'm older now and all I know how is to work to see your face
_ [Em] Smiling proud knowing we carved out some tiny little space
[C] This clock just [G] keeps on ticking, [C] we can't seem to slow [G] it down
[D] Let's kick against the current and I'll hold you if we drown
[C] I'll hold [G] you if [D] we drown
Can [G] you meet me there tonight?
_ I [Em] don't want nothing but your hand in mine
_ [G] Like [C] when we were young and wild, [G] I
[C] We had nothing but plenty [D] of time
_ _ [C] Lit under the _
[G] fireflies _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Would you meet me there tonight?
_ I [Em] don't want nothing but your hand in mine _ _
Like [D] when we were young [D] and [Em] wild, I
[D] We had nothing but plenty of time
[G] Meet _ me there tonight _ _
[Em] Meet me there tonight
[G] _
[C] Right when we were young [D] and wild, I
[C] We had nothing but plenty [D] of time
Lit [G] under the _ fireflies _ _
Lit under [D] the _ [Em] fireflies
Lit [C] under the [D] _ [G] fireflies _ _
