[G] [D]
You would not believe your eyes
[Em] [C] [G] [D] [Em] [C]
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep
[G] [D]
'Cause they'd fill the open air
[Em] [C]
and leave teardrops everywhere
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
[Em] [G] [D]
I'd like to make myself believe
[Em] [G] [D] [C]
that planet Earth turns slowly
[Em] [D] [G] [D] [Em]
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[Em] [G] [A]
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[G] [D]
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
[Em] [C] [G] [D] [Em] [C]
from ten thousand lightning bugs as they tried to teach me how to dance
[G] [D]
A foxtrot above my head
[Em] [C]
a sockhop beneath my bed
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Em] [G] [D]
I'd like to make myself believe
[Em] [G] [D] [C]
that planet Earth turns slowly
[Em] [D] [G] [D] [Em]
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[Em] [G] [A]
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[G] [D]
Leave my door open just a crack
[Em] [C]
(please take me away from here)
[G] [D]
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
[Em] [C]
(please take me away from here)
[G] [D]
Why do I tire of counting sheep
[Em] [C]
(please take me away from here)
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
when I'm far too tired to fall asleep
[G] [D]
To ten million fireflies
[Em] [C]
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
[G] [D]
but I'll know where several are
[Em] [C]
If my dreams get real bizarre
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
'cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
[Em] [G] [D]
I'd like to make myself believe
[Em] [G] [D] [C]
that planet Earth turns slowly
[Em] [D] [G] [D] [Em]
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[Em] [G] [A]
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Em] [G] [D]
I'd like to make myself believe
[Em] [G] [D] [C]
that planet Earth turns slowly
[Em] [D] [G] [D] [Em]
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[Em] [G] [A]
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Em] [G] [D]
I'd like to make myself believe
[Em] [G] [D] [C]
that planet Earth turns slowly
[Em] [D] [G] [D] [Em]
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[Em] [G] [A]
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
