[Intro]
G D C Gx4
[Chorus]
G D C
C'mon beautiful let’s go sit on the front lawn
G D C
Watch the fireflies as the sun goes down
G D C
They don't live too long, just a flash and then they're gone
G D C
We'll laugh at them and watch the sun go down
G D C x2
[Verse]
G D C
Tell my why you don't sleep anymore
G D C
Tell me what you sit up all night waiting for
G D C
Are you waiting for loneliness to paralyze
G D C
Are you waiting for system midnight to anesthetize
