When the streetlights come on and the fireflies flicker,
     C#                          Fm
I am walking her home making plans.
         C#                          Fm
With her shoes in her hands, I am watching her dance,
       C#                      Fm
As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass.

C# Fm

Eb         Bb       F#9
It suddenly rains on us,
Eb              Eb              F#9
She is laughing and turns up her hands.



                  C#                  Ab                   Bbm
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks,
           F#9
Snow in our paths.
             C#               Ab                       Bbm
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never 
F#9
last. Thats why fireflies flash

When this summertime ends, we will not part as friends,

Things were promised in blood, we have sinned.
            C#                         Fm
Now there's tears in her eyes as she's screaming goodbyes

I run 'long side the car turning numb to the sound.

I notice a chill in the air,

Let's blame the passage of time

Love and loss, truth it costs more than I can spare right now.
