Em D Bm C x 2
Em D
What are the words that I'm supposed to say
Bm C
Your white skin swirling fireflies
Em D
Darkness has surrounded Baltimore bay
Bm C
Why don't you open your blue eyes
Em D
Are they things that water can't wash away
G C
How can your absence leave no trace
Em D
As I let you sink in Baltimore bay
G C
I drown myself deep in disgrace
Em D G C x2
What is the price am I supposed to pay
For all the things I try to hide
What is my fate am I supposed to pray
That trouble's gone with the sunlight
Fm E A D
A warm sun rises and ignites the bay
I come back home and start to cry
I'll never come back to Baltimore bay
Try to forget the fireflies
What are the words that I'm supposed to say
If someone knew about this lie
If your body rises to the surface
Through the silence of fireflies
