Fireflies

D  A  G    D  A  D  A 
 
D                 A                  G 
Before you met me I was a fairy princess 
D                    A                      
I caught frogs and called them prince 
     G               A                    
And made myself a queen 
 
Before you knew me I travelled 'round the world 
I slept in castles and fell in love 
Because I was taught to dream 
         G                             D 
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top 
    A            G                               
To capture Tinkerbell 
                                   D            
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye 
           A         G              
But I could always tell 
   G          D                G                   D      
I believe in fairy tales and dreamers dreams like bed  
              
sheet sails 
    G              D            G                
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles 
        D               A                       
And anything I can to get by 
           D    A  G  A             
And fireflies  
Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud 
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on you wings 
Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud 
"Life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things" 
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top 
To capture Tinkerbell 
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye 
But I could always tell 
 
(Chorus) 
 
     D  A  G  A           
Fireflies 
 
D  A  G  A  (x2) 
 
Before you met me I was a fairy princess 
I caught frogs and called them prince 
And made myself a queen 
Before you knew me I travelled 'round the world 
And I slept in castles and fell in love 
Because I was taught to dream
