A                                        D
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

Chorus

   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

Chorus

 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

Chorus

Chorus:

 D                                                 D    E
So we treat our love like a firefly, like it only gets to
  A
shine, for a little while
  D                                                    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
----------------  

The 2nd and 3rd Chorus goes:
So you treat your love like a firefly....
