G G               C C
You would not believe your eyes
F F F F
If ten million fireflies
G G C C F F
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
G G C C
'Cause they'd fill the open air
F F F F
And leave teardrops everywhere
G G C C F F
You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare

F F C C G G
I'd like to make myself believe
F F C C Em Em F F
That planet Earth turns slowly
F F C C F F G G Am Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
F F C C G G
'Cause everything is never as it seems


G G C C
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
F F
From ten thousand lightning bugs
G G C C F F
As they tried to teach me how to dance
G G C C
a foxtrot above my head
F F
a sock hop beneath my bed
G G C C F F
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread


F F C C G G
I'd like to make myself believe
F F C C Em Em F F
That planet Earth turns slowly
F F C C F F G G Am Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
F F C C G G
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep

G G C C F F
Leave my door open just a crack ( Please take me away from here )
G G C C F F
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac ( Please take me away from here )
G G C C F F
Why do I tire of counting sheep ( Please take me away from here )
G G C C F F
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

G G C C
To ten million fireflies
F F
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
G G C C F F
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
G G C C
But I'll know where several are
F F
If my dreams get real bizarre
G G C C F F
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar


F F C C G G
I'd like to make myself believe
F F C C Em Em F F
That planet Earth turns slowly
F F C C F F G G Am Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
F F C C G G
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep


F F C C G G
I'd like to make myself believe
F F C C Em Em F F
That planet Earth turns slowly
F F C C F F G G Am Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
F F C C G G
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep


F F C C G G
I'd like to make myself believe
F F C C Em Em F F
That planet earth turns slowly
F F C C F F G G Am Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
F F C C G G G G C C
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
