A5 D5
Me and Charlie boy used to go walking, sittin' in the
A5
woods behind my house
D5 A5
When being lovers meant a stolen kiss and holding hands
E5
with nobody else around
A5 D5
Charlie said he wanted to get married, but we were only
A5
ten so we'd have to wait
D5 A5
He said we'd never let our love run dry like so many do
these days
Chorus
A5 D5
Charlie always said he'd like to leave here, turned
A5
eighteen and left our sleepy town
D5 A5
Letters came and went and I kept waiting for Charlie to
E5
come back and bring the life he'd found
A5 D5
Funny how time and distance change you, the road you take
A5
don't always lead you home
D5 A5
You can start a love with good intentions and then you
look up and it's gone
Chorus
A5 D5
Even now I sometimes think of Charlie, how we thought we
A5
new it all back then
D5 A5
Now I'd give anything to feel love from a child's heart
again
Chorus
----------------
Chorus:
D5 D5 E5
So we treat our love like a firefly, like it only gets to
A5
shine, for a little while
D5 D5
Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top and run
E5 A5
like hell to show it off
G5 E5 G5
Oh promises we made when we'd go walkin', that's just me
D5 E5 A5
and Charlie talking
----------------
The 2nd and 3rd Chorus goes:
So you treat your love like a firefly....
