D5  A5  G5    D5  A5  D5  A5 
 
D5                 A5                  G5 
Before you met me I was a fairy princess 
D5                    A5                      
I caught frogs and called them prince 
     G5               A5                    
And made myself a queen 
 
Before you knew me I travelled 'round the world 

I slept in castles and fell in love 

Because I was taught to dream 
         G5                             D5 
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top 
    A5            G5                               
To capture Tinkerbell 
                                   D5            
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye 
           A5         G5              
But I could always tell 
   G5          D5                G5                   D5      
I believe in fairy tales and dreamers dreams like bed  
              
sheet sails 
    G5              D5            G5                
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles 
        D5               A5                       
And anything I can to get by 
           D5    A5  G5  A5             
And fireflies  

Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud 

I could bless myself in your name and pat you on you wings 

Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud 

"Life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things" 

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top 

To capture Tinkerbell 

And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye 

But I could always tell 
 
(Chorus) 
     D5  A5  G5  A5           
Fireflies 
D5  A5  G5  A5  (x2) 
 
Before you met me I was a fairy princess 
I caught frogs and called them prince 
And made myself a queen 
Before you knew me I travelled 'round the world 
And I slept in castles and fell in love 
Because I was taught to dream
