[Intro]
C G D C G D G
[Verse 1]
Em G
grim tales by fairy lights
D Am
we sat mesmerised, mesmerised
G Am G
dancing iridescence
D Am C G Am
in your eyes like fireflies
C G
partners in devilment
D Am
we grabbed each day, unafraid
Em G
but the cold hands of consequence
D Em Am
broke the spell and wrecked the game
[Chorus]
C Bm G D Am
oh, the sun went down today
C G D Am
for reasons you wont say
C G D
and I just cant look away
Am
from those fireflies
[Interlude]
C G D Am C G D Am
[Verse 2]
C G
naked rage or self-defense
D Am
will we ever know, who'll let go
G
no remorse or penitence
D Am
can save the raft from the undertow
[Chorus]
C Bm G D Am
oh, the sun went out today
C G D Am
and the colours burned into gray
C G D
but I just can't look away
Am
from those hurting eyes
[Interlude]
C G D Am C G D Am C G D Em C G D Am
[Verse 3]
C Bm D
we hurt, we grieve(how could we imagine this would be)
Am D
we dont concede
Em Bm
we hide, we blame(we believed that the world would stay the same)
D Am C G C
our illusions wont efface the pain
D
it remains
[Chorus]
C G D Am
the sun went out today
C G D Am
for reasons I cant say
C Bm G D
and the colours died in the pale
Am C G D Am
oh, the sun went out today
C G D Am C Em
and I just cant look away from those fireflies
[Outro]
Am Em
tales and satellites
G
all that remain
turn back the day
