VERSE 1 (You can either keep repeating the intro it use these chords... vary the progressions as you want.)
          C                            Em                    
When the streetlights come on and the fireflies flicker,

     C                        Em
I am walking her home making plans.

         C                        Em
With her shoes in her hands, I am watching her dance,

       C                     Em
As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass.
INTRO [X1]
Dsus         Am      Fadd9        
 It suddenly rains on us,

D                Dsus            Fadd9~
She is laughing and turns up her hands.
CHORUS 1
                  C                   G                    Am
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in

   Fadd9
our paths.

             C                G                        Am
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never 

Fadd9~
last, that's why fireflies flash.
INTRO [x2] VERSE 2
          C                        Em
When this summertime ends, we will not part as friends,

            C                          Em
Things were promised in blood; we have sinned.

            C                          Em
Now there's tears in her eyes as she's screaming goodbyes, 

       C                       Em
I run 'long side the car turning numb to the sound.
INTRO [X1]
Dsus       Am           Fadd9
I notice a chill in the air,

D           Dsus          Fadd9~
September is creeping up fast.

                  C                   G                    Am
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in 

   Fadd9
our paths

             C                G                    Am
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never 

Fadd9~
last, that's why fireflies flash.
INTRO 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                   G                    Am  
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on her necks, snow in 

Fadd9
our paths.

             C               G                      Am
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never
