Lori McKenna - Fireflies lyrics

rate me

(C)Before you met me (C/B)I was a fairy (F)princess (G*)

(C)I caught frogs and (C/B)called them prince

And (F)made myself a (G)queen

(C)And before you knew me (C/B)I'd traveled 'round the (F)world (G*)

And I (C)slept in castles

And (C/B)fell in love

Because (F)I was taught to (G)dream

I found (F)mayonnaise bottles and poked (C)holes on top

To (F)capture Tinker (C)Bell

And (F)they were just fireflies to the (C)untrained eye

But (F)I could always (G)tell

Cause (F)I believe in (C)fairy tales

And (F)dreamer's dreams

Like (C)bedsheet sails

And (F)I believe in (C)Peter Pan

And (F)miracles, any(C)thing I can to (G)get by

And fireflies (C) . . . (C/B) . . . (F) . . . (G*) . . .

Now be(C)fore I grew up I (C/B)saw you on a (F)cloud (G*)

And I could (C)bless myself (C/B)in your name

And (F)pat you on your (G)wings

And be(C)fore I grew up I (C/B)heard you whisper so (F)loud (G*)

Well (C)life is hard and (C/B)so is love

Child, be(F)lieve in all these (G)things

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top

To capture Tinker Bell

And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye

But I could always tell

Cause I believe in fairy tales

And dreamer's dreams

Like bedsheet sails

And I believe in Peter Pan

And miracles, anything I can to get by . . .

And fireflies

And firefliies . . .

Before you met me I was a fairy princess

I caught frogs and called them prince

And made myself a queen

And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world

And I slept in castles

And fell in love

Because I was taught to dream
