[VERSE 1] (You can either keep 
repeating the intro it use these 
chords... vary the
progressions as you want.)
          C                      
When the streetlights come on and 
      Em
the fireflies flicker,
     C                        Em
I am walking her home making plans.
         C                        
With her shoes in her hands, I am 
Em
watching her dance,
       C                     Em
As the hem of her dress gently 
kisses the grass.

[Intro riff] x1

Dsus         Am      Fadd9
 It suddenly rains on us,
D                Dsus            
She is laughing and turns up her 
Fadd9~
hands.

[Chorus 1]
                  C             
Like autumn turns leaves, winter 
      G                    Am
will breathe, cold on our necks, 
snow in
   Fadd9
our paths.
             C                G   
Wherever she goes, all that I know
                     Am
 about us is that beautiful things 
never
Fadd9~
last, that's why fireflies flash.

[Verse 2]
          C                        
When this summertime ends, we will 
Em
not part as friends,
            C                    
Things were promised in blood; we 
      Em
have sinned.
            C                   
Now there's tears in her eyes as 
       Em
she's screaming goodbyes,
       C                       Em
I run 'long side the car turning 
numb to the sound.

[Intro riff] x1

Dsus       Am           Fadd9
I notice a chill in the air,
D           Dsus          Fadd9~
September is creeping up fast.

[Chorus 2]
                  C             
Like autumn turns leaves, winter 
      G                    Am
will breathe, cold on our necks, 
snow in
   Fadd9
our paths
             C                G   
Wherever she goes, all that I know
                 Am
 about us is that beautiful things 
never
Fadd9~
last, that's why fireflies flash.

[Intro riff] x1

[Bridge]
Dsus                 Fadd9
 Innocence didn't mean we're immune 
to these things,
Am                       G
Let's blame the passage of time.
Dsus                        Fadd9
Love and loss, truth it costs more 
than I can spare right now.
Am                   G
Maybe it's simpler to lie...

[FINAL CHORUS]
                  C             
Like autumn turns leaves, winter 
      G                    Am
will breathe, cold on her necks, 
snow in
Fadd9
our paths.
             C               G    
Wherever she goes, all that I know
                  Am
 about us is that beautiful things 
never
Fadd9~
last, that's why fireflies flash.

[INTRO] [keep playing to fade out]
Ooooh.... That's why fireflies 
flash...
Ooooh....
