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