G+G        C majorC
 You would not believe your eyes

 If ten million fireflies

 Lit up the world as I fell asleep

 As they tried to teach me how to dance

 A augmentedA foxtrot above my head

 A augmentedA sock hop beneath my bed
    C majorC             FF
A augmentedA disco ball is just hanging by a thread
