Tune down one whole step
G C G C
You... you look like my mother

Not afraid to die

Still a firefly

When I first appeared

But I... got bit by the footlights

I got caught in the headlights

Any place but here
C D Em
Never say... you'll never leave
G C
Cause you never know till you try
C D Em
In a jar... a firefly
G C (strum once)
Only lasts for one night
G C G C
Hateful... and heartbroken feelings
G
Come easy as a waitress
D
On a cool summer night
G C G C
And I wonder... if there's any justice
G D
Cause if there's supposed to be justice

Then something aint right
G C G C
Yeah, trains roll... like gamblers in slo-mo
G
Trying to find justice

Cause I couldn't find love

I... wanna sleep on the train tracks
G D
It's gonna be peaceful
G D
It's gonna get rough

Never say... you'll never leave

Cause you never know till you try

In a jar... a firefly
G C Em
Only lasts for one night

Only lasts for one night

You... you look like my mother

Did when she was nineteen

Not afraid to die
