[Intro] Crickets Chirping  Ax4

Ax2                                    D                             A      D
Me and Charlie boy used to go walking, Sittin' in the wood behind my house, __When bein' lovers
        A                                   D           E       Ax2
Meant a stolen kiss, And holding hands with nobody else around, ____Charlie said he wanted to
                  D                                    A       D
Get married, But _____we were only ten so we?d have to wait, He said we?d never let our love run
A            E             A
Dry, like so many do these days.


[Chorus]
      Dx2                                                 Ax2                      Dx2
So we treat our love like a firefly, Like it only gets to shine for a little while, ___Catch it in a
                                              Ax2                      Bm
mason Jar with holes in the top, And run like hell to show it off, Oh, promises we made when
        E              G           E        Ax2
We?d go Walkin' That?s just me and Charlie talkin'.


Ax2                                          D                             A    D
Charlie always said he?d like to leave here, Turned 18 and left our sleepy town, ___Letters came
                    A                                     D                   E      Ax2
And went and I kept waiting, For Charlie to come back and bring the life he?d found, ____Funny
                                      D                                   A    D
How time And distance change you, The road you take don?t always lead you home, ___You can
                       A                       E                A
Start a love With Good intentions, Then you'll look up and it?s gone.


[Chorus]
      Dx2                                                 Ax2                      Dx2
So we treat our love like a firefly, Like it only gets to shine for a little while, ___Catch it in a
                                              Ax2                      Bm
mason Jar with holes in the top, And run like hell to show it off, Oh, promises we made when
        E              G           E        Ax4
We?d go Walkin' That?s just me and Charlie talkin'.

Ax2                                        D                                     A
Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie, ___How we thought we knew it all back then.
D                            A                 E              A
____Now I?d give anything to feel love, From a child?s heart again.

mason Jar with holes in the top, And run like hell to show it off, Oh, promises we made when
