I Will Deliver You To The Fireflies

	  		
Verse 1 

  Am           G            C 
Left all my bags at the gates 
             G                       F 
I held your hand as you tried to escape 
          Am            G               C 
You were weak from the nights that you spent 
               G                    F 
Fighting your way out of hospital beds 
        Am                     F                      C 
I tried so hard to carry you, fighting through every part of it 
            F              Am              G             C 
All of the pain, but I was weak from the nights that I spent 
         G                     F 
Laying awake in those hospital beds 

 
C G                 F                     G 
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control 
               C 
While they took down your name 
       G                         F 
I was pleading with them to go slow 


Verse 2 

     Am           G            C 
I played you that song that you love 
           G                       F 
I let you down, I'd forgotten the words 
   Am             G              C 
I watched as you still tried to dance 
                          G                     F 
But it's hard when the wires pour out of your chest 
          Am                     G 
Made cathedrals with old cotton sheets 
                   C                       F 
We held on to belief like its all we had left 
           Am                           F 
Saw you smiled as you still tried to laugh 
                          C                      F 
But it's hard when the wires pour out of your chest 

 
C G               Am                      F 
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control 
C G                Am                     F 
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control 
            C 
While they took down your name 
        G                        F 
I was pleading with them to go slow 
        Am                     F 
Oh, and I still remember the sky falling down 
     C                                        F 
The way that the world seemed to not make a sound 
C G              Am                      F 
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control 


Bridge 
Am                 F 
I convinced myself that you were going home 
C                            G 
That there's a reason behind everything that we don't know 
Am                 F

C G              Am                      F 
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control 
            C 
Couldn't control
