C Em When the streetlights come on and the fireflies flicker, C Em I am walking her home making plans.

INTRO [X1] D4 Am F9 It suddenly rains on us, D D4 F9~ She is laughing and turns up her hands. CHORUS 1 C G Am Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in F9 our paths. C G Am Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never F9~ last, that's why fireflies flash. INTRO [x2] VERSE 2 C Em When this summertime ends, we will not part as friends, C Em Things were promised in blood; we have sinned. C Em Now there's tears in her eyes as she's screaming goodbyes, C Em I run 'long side the car turning numb to the sound. INTRO [X1] D4 Am F9 I notice a chill in the air, D D4 F9~ September is creeping up fast. CHORUS 2 C G Am Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in F9 our paths C G Am Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never F9~ last, that's why fireflies flash.

C G Am Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never F9~ last, that's why fireflies flash. INTRO [keep playing to fade out] Ooooh.... That's why fireflies flash... Ooooh.... END all in all it's really simple and like someone told me before, a "heart melter". tell me what you think, any criticism is welcome.
