These are the chords i found. I use them for the guitar and they sound right to me. plus the way you are playing the piano doesnt sound the same as the song. it might be bc of the melody chimes. they really bother me. but anyway, this is what i use
Intro:C Em
C Em
When the Streetlights come on and the Fireflies flicker
C Em
I am walkin her home makin plans
C Em
With her shoes in her hands I am watching her dance
C Em C
as the Hem of her dress gently kisses the grass
Dsus Am Fadd9
It suddenly rains on us
D Dsus Fadd9
She is laughin and turns up her hands
C
Like autumn turns leaves
G
Winter will breathe
Am
Cold on our necks
Fadd9
Snow in our paths
C
Where ever she goes
G
all that i know about us
Am
is that beautiful things never last
Fadd9 C
Thats why fireflies flash
C Em
When this summertime ends we will not part as friends
C Em
things were promised in blood we have sinned
C Em
now theres tears in her eyes as shes screamin goodbyes
C Em C
i run long side the car turnin numb to the sound
Dsus Am Fadd9
I notice a chill in the air
D Dsus Fadd9
September is creepin up fast
C
Like autumn turns leaves
G
Winter will breathe
Am
Cold on our necks
Fadd9
Snow in our paths
C
Where ever she goes
G
all that i know about us
Am
is that beautiful things never last

Thats why fireflies flash

Innocence didnt mean we’re immune to these things
Am G
lets blame the passage of time
Dsus Fadd9
love and loss truth it costs more than i can spare right now
Am G
maybe its simpler to lie
C
Like autumn turns leaves

Winter will breathe
Am
Cold on our necks

Where ever she goes

all that i know about us

Thank you for your contribution, johnny. Cheers!
Thanks man. Just found this site less than a minute ago and I think I will be using it A LOT as I am a singer just learning to play piano. I would like to be able to do both at the same time and I think this is the perfect site to do so.
Hi Campbell! Thanks for your comment. I’m so glad this site can be useful to you! Pls do keep me posted about your use of the songs here in your singing. I’d be so thrilled! Cheers!
