Fireflies
View chords used in this chart
C#
If I could only see this night as another day,
I'd know you found your silence,
F#
Instead of being wrapped up in me,
C#
Wrapped up in this violence.
C#
I'll make floating on water,
Looking out of the night.
F#
There's a hole in the sky,
C#
All those fireflies,
C#
Don't believe in the sun,
F#
Or the nighttime's scarce,
C#
They're only fireflies.
C#
Took a walk out the door,
On the day you would die,
F# C#
And I looked up to the sun,
And I saw fireflies.
C#
And now I can't see no border,
Between the day and the night.
F# C#
You would turn on your life between those fireflies.
