Chorus:) 
E Esus4 E7                               A 
         It's not supposed to be that way 
E 
You're supposed to know I love you 
B7 
But it don't matter anyway 
E 
If I can't be there to console you. 
 
A 
Like the other little children 
E 
You're gonna dream a dream or two 
B7 
But be careful what you're dreamin' 
E 
Soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you. 
E E sus4 E7                               A 
         It's not supposed to be that way 
E 
You're supposed to know I love you 
B7 
But it don't matter anyway 
E 
If I can't be there to control you. 
 
 
When you go out to play this evenin' 
Play with fireflies till they're gone 
Then you'll rush to meet your lover 
Play with real fire til the dawn. 
 
(Chorus)
