Fireflies (CHORDS) by Lori McKenna

[Intro]~
G  Gadd9  C  D    G  Gadd9  C  D


[Verse 1]~
G                 Gadd9         C         D
Before you met me I was a fairy princess

G                  Gadd9
I caught frogs and called them prince

   C             D
And made myself a queen

G                      Gadd9                   C      D
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world

     G                    Gadd9
And I slept in castles and fell in love

       C               D
Because I was taught to dream


[Pre-Chorus]~
       C                            G
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top

  C              G
To capture Tinker Bell

   C                               G
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye

   C              D
But I could always tell


[Chorus]~
      C            G
'Cause I believe in fairy tales

   C                      G
And dreamer's dreams,..!! like bed-sheet sails

   C            G
And I believe in Peter Pan

   C            G              D
And miracles,..!! anything I can to get by

              G    Gadd9    C    D
And fireflies


[Verse 2]~
      G                Gadd9        C      D
Now,..!! before I grew up I saw you on a cloud

           G            Gadd9
And I could bless myself in your name

   C               D
And pat you on your wings

     G                Gadd9                C     D
And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud

     G                Gadd9
Well,..!! life is hard and so is love

        C                  D
Child,..!! believe in all these things


[Pre-Chorus]~
       C                            G
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top

  C              G
To capture Tinker Bell

   C                               G
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye

   C              D
But I could always tell


[Chorus]~
      C            G
'Cause I believe in fairy tales

   C                      G
And dreamer's dreams,..!! like bed-sheet sails

   C            G
And I believe in Peter Pan

   C            G              D       G   Gadd9
And miracles,..!! anything I can to get by

        C     D
And fireflies

           G Gadd9 C D    G   Gadd9    C   D
And firefli-i-i-----i-ies
