Intro: A Asus4 A Asus2 (4x)
A D
Me and Charlie boy used to go walking, sittin?? in the
A
woods behind my house
D A
When being lovers meant a stolen kiss and holding hands
E
with nobody else around
A D
Charlie said he wanted to get married, but we were only
A
ten so we??d have to wait
D A
He said we??d never let our love run dry like so many do
these days
(Chorus):
D D E
So we treat our love like a firefly, like it only gets to
A
shine, for a little while
D D
Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top and run
E A
like hell to show it off
G E G
Oh promises we made when we??d go walkin??, that??s just me
D E A
and Charlie talking
A D
Charlie always said he??d like to leave here, turned
A
eighteen and left our sleepy town
D A
Letters came and went and I kept waiting for Charlie to
E
come back and bring the life he??d found
A D
Funny how time and distance change you, the road you take
A
don??t always lead you home
D A
You can start a love with good intentions and then you
look up and it??s gone
(Chorus)
A D
Even now I sometimes think of Charlie, how we thought we
A
new it all back then
D A
Now I??d give anything to feel love from a child??s heart
again
(Chorus)

The 2nd and 3rd Chorus goes:
So you treat your love like a firefly....
