Ritter Josh - Song For The Fireflies guitar tab

From Golden Age of Radio

Words and music by Josh Ritter

[G]After all the lights had died

[Em]Out behind the palisades park

[C]Fireflies remembered to do

[C?]Exactly what they were supposed to

[G]And memories were like coins that tumbled

[Em]Somersaulting through the deep

[C]Down every well we through them in

[C?]Until they came to the top again

[Am]And out like the sun [Em]

[Am]In your hair, in your hair[C]

Every month that ends its spin

Is picked up by the moon for keeping

Clean and safe from accidents

Sheltered from the elements

But June is like an echo

Of the sounds we never made

I swear they find me in my waking hours

Thirty days like poison flowers

The wind in your hair

Like a sigh, like a sigh

With intermittent rain and shine

The sky re-started six or seven times

It's blue because it sees

All our infidelities

We both know that it's been so long

I'm not sure what to say so I hope

Fireflies remember to do

Exactly what it was they used to
