Me and Charlie boy used to go walking, sittin' in the
A
woods behind my house
D
A
When being lovers meant a stolen kiss and holding hands
E
with nobody else around
A
D
Charlie said he wanted to get married, but we were only
A
ten so we'd have to wait
D
A
He said we'd never let our love run dry like so many do
these days
A
D
Charlie always said he'd like to leave here, turned
A
eighteen and left our sleepy town
D
A
Letters came and went and I kept waiting for Charlie to
E
come back and bring the life he'd found
A
D
Funny how time and distance change you, the road you take
A
don't always lead you home
D
A
You can start a love with good intentions and then you
look up and it's gone
A
D
Even now I sometimes think of Charlie, how we thought we
A
new it all back then
D
A
Now I'd give anything to feel love from a child's heart
again
D
E
So we treat our love like a firefly, like it only gets to
A
shine, for a little while
D
Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top and run
E
A
like hell to show it off
G
E
G
Oh promises we made when we'd go walkin', that's just me
D
E
A
and Charlie talking
So you treat your love like a firefly....
