Chorus: 
                             C 
It's not supposed to be that way 
                          G 
You're supposed to know I love you 
                   D 
It don't matter anyway 
                          G 
If I can't be there to control you 
 
Verse 1: 
                         C 
Just like all the little children 
                              G 
You're gonna dream a dream or two 
                    D 
Be careful what you dream 
                                     G 
Or soon your dreams will be dreaming you 
 
CHORUS 
 
Verse 2: 
                         C 
So when you go away this evening 
                                     G 
To play with fireflies 'till they're gone 
                           D 
Then you rush to meet your lover 
                                 G 
To play with real fire 'till the dawn
