INTRO [X1] Dsus4 Am Fadd9 It suddenly rains on us, D Dsus4 Fadd9~ She is laughing and turns up her hands. CHORUS 1 C G Am Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in Fadd9 our paths. C G Am Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never Fadd9~ last, that's why fireflies flash. INTRO [x2] VERSE 2 C Em When this summertime ends, we will not part as friends, C Em Things were promised in blood; we have sinned.

Am G Maybe it's simpler to lie... FINAL CHORUS C G Am Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on her necks, snow in Fadd9 our paths. C G Am Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never Fadd9~ last, that's why fireflies flash. INTRO [keep playing to fade out] Ooooh.... That's why fireflies flash...
