[Intro ]
C Am F C
C Am F C
I fell in love next to you
Burning fires in this room
It just fits
Light and smooth
Like my feet in my shoes
C Am F C
Little one, lie with me
Sew you heart to my sleeve
We'll stay quiet
Underneath shooting stars
If it helps you sleep
Dm F Dm F G
And hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
C F C G
There's a firefly
Loose tonight
Better catch it
Before it burns this place down
And I lie
If I don't feel so right
But the world looks better
Through your eyes
C Am F C
Teach my skin
Those new tricks
Warm me up
With your lips
Heart to heart
Melt me down
It's too cold
In this town
C Am F C
Close your eyes
Lean on me
Face to mouth
Lips to cheek
Feeling numb
In my feet
You're the one
To help me
Get to sleep
Dm F Dm F G
And hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
C F C G
There's a firefly
Loose tonight
Better catch it
Before it burns this place down
And I lie
If I don't feel so right
But the world looks better
Through your eyes
Dm F Dm F
It's only been
One night of love
And maybe
That is not enough
Dm F Dm F
Hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
Dm F Dm F
It's only been
One night of love
And maybe
That's not enough
Dm F Dm F G
Hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
C F C G
There's a firefly loose tonight
Better catch it
Before it burns this place down
And I lie
If I don't feel so right
But the world looks better
Through your eyes
