Intro
[Bb]-[Eb]-[G#]-- x4
Verse 1
[Bb] [Eb]
You would not believe your eyes
[G#]
If ten million fireflies
[Bb] [Eb] [G#]
lit up the world as i fell asleep
[Bb] [Eb]
Cause they'd fill the open air
[G#]
and leave teardrops everywhere
[Bb]
you'd think me rude but
[Eb] [G#]
I'd just stand and stare
Chorus 1
[G#] [Eb/G] [Bb]
I'd like to make myself believe
[G#] [Eb] [Gm] [G#]
that planet Earth turns slowly
[G#] [Eb]
Its hard to say that I'd rather
[G#] [Bb] [Cm]
stay awake when I'm asleep
[G#] [Eb/G] [Fm] [Eb/G]
Cause everything is never as it seems
Verse 2
[Bb] [Eb]
Cause i'd get a thousand hugs
[G#]
from ten thousand lightning bugs
[Bb]
as they tried to
[Eb] [G#]
teach me how to dance
[Bb] [Eb]
A foxtrot above my head
[G#]
a sockhop beneath my bed
[Bb] [Eb]
a disco ball is just
[G#]
hanging by a thread
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Post Chorus:
[G#](hold)
I fall asleep
Verse 3
[Bb] [Eb] [G#]
leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
[Bb] [Eb] [G#]
Cause i feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
[Bb] [Eb] [G#]
why do i tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
[Bb] [Eb] [G#]
when I'm far too tired to fall asleep
Verse 4
[Bb] [Eb]
To ten million fireflies
[G#]
I'm weird cause i hate goodbyes
[Bb] [Eb] [G#]
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
[Bb] [Eb]
but i'll know where several are
[G#]
if my dreams get real bizarre
[Bb]
cause i saved a few and
[Eb] [G#]
i keep them in a jar
(Repeat Chorus 1 twice)
Chorus 2
[G#] [Eb/G] [Bb]
I'd like to make myself believe
[G#] [Eb] [Gm] [G#]
that planet Earth turns slowly
[G#] [Eb]
Its hard to say that I'd rather
[G#] [Bb] [Cm]
stay awake when I'm asleep
[G#]
Because my dreams are
[Eb] [Bb](hold)
bursting at the seams
