Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
 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
       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
   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
   D                                                                                                        E 
So we treat our love like a firefly, like it only gets to
     A 
shine, for a little while
     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
So you treat your love like a firefly....
