Verse :
D MajorD       E minor 7Em7
You would not believe your eyes
Csus2Csus2
If ten million fireflies
D MajorD     E minor 7Em7       Csus2Csus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
D MajorD         E minor 7Em7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Csus2Csus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
   D MajorD
You'd think me rude
  E minor 7Em7            Csus2Csus2
But I would've just stand and stare

Chorus:
Csus2Csus2    G5G5      D MajorD
I'd like to make myself believe
   E minor 7Em7  Csus2Csus2 G5G5  D MajorD  E minor 7Em7
That planet Earth turns slowly
   Csus2Csus2        G5G5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
   Csus2Csus2   D MajorD  E minor 7Em7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Csus2Csus2        G5G5     D MajorD
'Cause everything is never as it seems


Verse:
D MajorD        E minor 7Em7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Csus2Csus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
D MajorD        E minor 7Em7       Csus2Csus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
D MajorD     E minor 7Em7
A augmentedA foxtrot above my head
Csus2Csus2
A augmentedA sockhop beneath my bed
D MajorD        E minor 7Em7        Csus2Csus2
A augmentedA disco ball is just hanging by a thread

Chorus:
Csus2Csus2    G5G5      D MajorD
I'd like to make myself believe
   E minor 7Em7  Csus2Csus2 G5G5  D MajorD  E minor 7Em7
That planet Earth turns slowly
   Csus2Csus2        G5G5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
   Csus2Csus2   D MajorD  E minor 7Em7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Csus2Csus2        G5G5     D MajorD
'Cause everything is never as it seems


Verse:
D MajorD       E minor 7Em7     Csus2Csus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
D MajorD         E minor 7Em7     Csus2Csus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
D MajorD    E minor 7Em7       Csus2Csus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
D MajorD        E minor 7Em7      Csus2Csus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

D MajorD       E minor 7Em7
To ten million fireflies
Csus2Csus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
D MajorD   E minor 7Em7           Csus2Csus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
D MajorD         E minor 7Em7
But I'll know where several are
Csus2Csus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
D MajorD
'cause I saved a few
  E minor 7Em7       Csus2Csus2
And I keep them in a jar


Chorus:
Csus2Csus2    G5G5      D MajorD
I'd like to make myself believe
   E minor 7Em7  Csus2Csus2 G5G5  D MajorD  E minor 7Em7
That planet Earth turns slowly
  Csus2Csus2        G5G5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
   Csus2Csus2   D MajorD  E minor 7Em7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Csus2Csus2        G5G5     D MajorD
'Cause everything is never as it seems


Outro:

Because my dreams are bursting
