Chorus 1

C# G# A#m Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in F#add9 our paths. C# G# A#m Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never F#add9~ last, that's why fireflies flash. Intro riff 2x

Verse 2

C# Fm When this summertime ends, we will not part as friends, C# Fm Things were promised in blood; we have sinned.

D#sus F#add9 Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these things, A#m G# Let's blame the passage of time. D#sus F#add9 Love and loss, truth it costs more than I can spare right now. A#m G# Maybe it's simpler to lie...

Ooooh....
