Fireflies
(Lori McKenna)
Recorded by Faith Hill for Fireflies

D  A  G    D  A  D  A

D                 A                  G
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
D                    A                     
I caught frogs and called them prince
     G               A                   
And made myself a queen

Before you knew me I travelled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
         G                             D
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
    A            G                              
To capture Tinkerbell
                                   D           
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
           A         G             
But I could always tell

(Chorus)
   G          D                G                   D     
I believe in fairy tales and dreamers dreams like bed 
             
sheet sails
    G              D            G               
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles
        D               A                      
And anything I can to get by
           D    A  G  A            
And fireflies

Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on you wings
Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
"Life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things"
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

(Chorus)

     D  A  G  A          
Fireflies

D  A  G  A  (x2)

Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me I travelled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
