🎸 Intro:

G C F G C F



🎸 Verse 1:

G                C
 You would not believe your eyes
F
 If ten million fireflies
G                      C      F
 Lit up the world as I fell asleep
G                    C
'Cause they fill the open air
F

 And leave teardrops everywhere
      G                              A         F
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare

🎸 Chorus:

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

🎸 Verse 2:

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

🎸 Chorus:

F            C             G                 F     C     Em  F
 I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
                          C            F         G     Am
It's 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

🎸 Bridge:

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

🎸 Verse 3:

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

🎸 Chorus:

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