Here in the dark
~ C
I won't even make a spark
Dm Dm/C G
You're the only one who's never seen
Dm Dm/C G
The way I can light up in shades of gold and green
F C G
I'm just a little firefly
F C G
I want to shine for you but I'm too shy
F C ~ Am
So when you come around I hide my light
F C G C ~ Am
But when you go away I shine for you all night, all night, all night
F G C ~ Am
Well, I shine for you all night, all night, all night
F G Am
Well, I shine for you
~ C Am
Out there in the sun
~ C
I'd open up for anyone
Dm Dm/C G
You're the only one who closes me
Dm Dm/C G
Because I want to be the brightest thing you've ever seen
F C G
I'm just a little dandelion
F C G
I want to blossom but I'm scared of trying
F C ~ Am
So I hide my head when you come into the room
F C G Am ~ C
But when you go away I come right into bloom
BRIDGE:
F
And I can't look down
Dm G
'Cause I'm way too high
Dm
And I can't look up
Bb F Am ~ C Am ~ C
Into your eyes
Am ~ C
Well I never was afraid to sing out loud
Am ~ C
In front of anybody, any crowd
Dm Dm/C G
You, you make me lose my nerve
Dm Dm/C G
Feel like something more than I could ever deserve
F C G
I'm just a little hummingbird
F C G
I want to sing but I can't find the words
F C ~ Am
So when you come around I just go still
F G F G
But after you move on, when I know you're gone
F C G C ~ Am
Then I sing for you the way I always will, I will, I will
F G C ~ Am
Ooh, the way I always will, I will, I will
F G C ~ Am
Ooh, the way I always will, I will, I will
F G C ~ Am
The way I always
F G C ~ Am
The way I always
F G C ~ Am F G C
Oh, you know I always
