G                                   D
 Someone struck a match against the night
                            Em
All I could see was you and I
             C
It was captivating
G                                 D
 A perfect little dream inside my head
                       Em
And then reality crept in
      C
And erased it


[Pre-Chorus]
C             D
 For a while I thought that I could hold you
C                     D         G
 But you were just a temporary high


[Chorus]
     D
Firefly
    Em      C
You drew me to you
G     D      Em         C
 Your beauty shines and lights up the sky
G    D         Em       C
 And you don’t know it, do you
G      D       Em             C
I wish I could keep you, firefly
    G

[Verse 2]
G                              D
 Some things are beautiful and free
                      Em         C
And just never meant to be caged in
G                          D
 I thought I had you in my hand
                          Em               C
I tried to catch you but I can’t chase the wind


[Pre-Chorus]
C                 D 
 And every time I reach out to touch you
C                D                 G
 I remind myself you were meant to fly


[Chorus]
    D
Firefly
    Em      C
You drew me to you
G     D      Em         C             
 Your beauty shines and lights up the sky
G    D         Em       C
 And you don’t know it, do you
G      D           Em        C
I wish I could keep you, firefly
    G
Firefly


[Bridge]
G            D           Em            C
 I’d like to think I’d be all that you wanted
G        D         C       D
Not even that is enough...


[Chorus]
G    D
 Firefly
    Em      C
You drew me to you
G     D      Em         C
 Your beauty shines and lights up the sky
G    D         Em       C
 And you don’t know it, do you
G              D
I wish I could keep you
Em             C
I wish I could keep you
    G   D  Em  C
