100,000 Fireflies Chords by The Magnetic Fields

[Start]

[Intro]
Abm E Abm                                           
■   ■ ■   I have a mandolin I play it all night long
   E        Abm     E          
It makes me want to kill myself


[Chorus]
              Abm   Abm7      Abm     E        Abm7 
I also have a Dobro ■    made in some mountain range
              E        Abm7     Gb7  E
Sounds like a mountain range in love ■


[Verse]
                       Gb   Abm   E        Gb    
But when I turn up the tone on my electric guitar
Abm     B             Abm 
■   I'm afraid of the dark
            A           E
Without you close to me ■
                  B   
I'm afraid of the dark
Abm                  E 
Without you close to me
       E                           
I went out to the forest and caught
      Abm          Dbm      
A one hundred zero fireflies
   Abm                         
As they ricochet 'round my room
                       Dbm        
They remind me of your starry eyes


[Chorus]
                              E          Abm
Someone else's might not have made me so sad
Dbm                                E  
But this is the worst night I ever had
Abm                          
'cause I'm afraid of the dark
            A           E
Without you close to me ■
Abm               B   
I'm afraid of the dark
Abm         A          
Without you close to me
       Abm7 
Always close

[Chorus]
                   B    E 
You won't be happy with me
                     B      E
But give me one more chance ■
             Abm7  E     
You won't be happy anyway
          B          E   
Why do we still live here
                  B    E
In this repulsive town ■
                                B
All our friends are in New York ■
Gb E                Abm7      Gb E
■  ■ Why do we keep shrieking ■  ■
             Abm7 E     
When we mean soft things
                                Gb  
We should be whispering all the time
