G    C                  G      C
You... you look like my mother

                 G
Did when she was nineteen

                 D
Not afraid to die

G   C                     G      C
I... started planning our future

                  G        D
But you were just nineteen

            G       D
Still a firefly

G    C              G       C
You... got terrible visions 

                   G
Shoulda seen I was leaving

             D
When I first appeared

    G  C                G           C            
But I... got bit by the footlights

                    G           D
I got caught in the headlights

              G      D
Any place but here

C          D                   Em
Never say... you'll never leave

      G         C
Cause you never know till you try

C        D           Em
In a jar... a firefly

     G             C (strum once)
Only lasts for one night

G        C                 G         C
Hateful... and heartbroken feelings

               G        
Come easy as a waitress 

                 D
On a cool summer night

      G       C                G       C
And I wonder... if there's any justice

                                G        D
Cause if there's supposed to be justice

                    G      D
Then something aint right

      G            C                  G       C
Yeah, trains roll... like gamblers in slo-mo

               G
Trying to find justice

                      D
Cause I couldn't find love

G  C                    G             C  
I... wanna sleep on the train tracks

              G         D
It's gonna be peaceful

               G       D
It's gonna get rough

C          D                   Em
Never say... you'll never leave

      G         C
Cause you never know till you try

C        D           Em
In a jar... a firefly

     G             C      Em
Only lasts for one night

     G             C (strum once)
Only lasts for one night

G    C                  G      C
You... you look like my mother 

                 G
Did when she was nineteen

              D
Not afraid to die

        G          C              G       C
For the last time... I'm not your mother 

                 G         D
Hell, I was only nineteen
G (strum once) Still a firefly
