Tom: G

G    C                  G      C
You... you look like my mother
                 G
Did when she was nineteen
                 D
Not afraid to die
G   C                     G      C
I... started planning our future
                  G        D
But you were just nineteen
            G       D
Still a firefly

G    C              G       C
You... got terrible visions 
                   G
Shoulda seen I was leaving
             D
When I first appeared
    G  C                G           C            
But I... got bit by the footlights
                    G           D
I got caught in the headlights
              G      D
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
                    G      D
Then something aint right
      G            C                  G       C
Yeah, trains roll... like gamblers in slo-mo
               G
Trying to find justice
                      D
Cause I couldn't find love
G  C                    G             C  
I... wanna sleep on the train tracks
              G         D
It's gonna be peaceful
               G       D
It's gonna get rough


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      Em
Only lasts for one night
     G             C (strum once)
Only lasts for one night


G    C                  G      C
You... you look like my mother 
                 G
Did when she was nineteen
              D
Not afraid to die
        G          C              G       C
For the last time... I'm not your mother 
                 G         D
Hell, I was only nineteen
            G (strum once)
Still a firefly
