Capo on the 3rd fret

G–C–F––(2x)

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

Chorus:
F C    G
I'd like to make myself believe
F    C    Em F
that planet Earth turns slowly
F    C F G Am
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
F    C D
'Cause everything is never as it seems

(Same chords as verse)
'Cause id get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread

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

G–C–F––
leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
'Cause i feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
why do i tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
when I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
but ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
'cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar

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

F Am    G
I'd like to make myself believe
F    C    Em F
that planet Earth turns slowly
F    C F G Am
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
F    C    G
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
