Fireflies And Songs

  Em    D    G                C
  C     G    Am       G       D


   Em    D    G           C
Thirty years ago I was a little girl
   C     G      Am       G       D
Riding in the back seat of the car
   Em    D      G                  C
A woman sang 'You don't bring me flowers anymore.'
   C     G      Am       G       D
I felt the sadness in my little heart


[Chorus 1]
        Em            D C G    D
We're looking for the music
 Em    C     G
In the music box
Em         D C G    D
Tearing it to pieces
 Em       C      G
Trying to find a song

 Em    D       G           C              C/E
I was drawn to you in ways I can't explain
   C     G      Am       G       D
I fought like crazy but I couldn't stay away
  Em      D     G           C           C/E
Piled on expectations and lots of blame
     C     G      Am       G       D
Like we couldn't do it any other way


[Chorus 2]
         Em          D C G    D
We're looking for a firefly
  Em    C         G
Moving through the night
Em            D  C  G     D
Staring at that one place
 Em       C      G
Swear it never lights


[Interlude]
  Em    D    G                C
  C     G    Am       G       D

  Em    D    G                C
  C     G    Am       G       D


[Chorus 1]
        Em            D C G    D
We're looking for the music
 Em    C     G
In the music box
Em         D C G    D
Tearing it to pieces
 Em       C      G
Trying to find a song

     Em    D          G                    C
Were you surprised our hearts were not like ticking clocks?
    C     G        Am   G    D
The faces and hands easy to read
Em      D          G           C
We both wished 'if only in the land of Oz.'
      C     G        Am   G    D
And longed for things we'd never really need


[Chorus 3]
           Em             D C G
Now we're standing in the kitchen
 Em    C        G
All pretense is gone
    Em         D C G
You kiss me on the shoulder
 Em  C
Fireflies ...

     Em  D  G  Am  C        G  D  C  D  G
