D Em7 Csus2


Verse :
D             Em7
You would not believe your eyes
Csus2
If ten million fireflies
D          Em7              Csus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
D                  Em7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Csus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
      D
You'd think me rude
    Em7                       Csus2
But I would've just stand and stare

Chorus:
Csus2       G5            D
I'd like to make myself believe
     Em7    Csus2 G5    D   Em7
That planet Earth turns slowly
     Csus2                G5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
      Csus2     D    Em7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Csus2                G5          D
'Cause everything is never as it seems


Verse:
D               Em7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Csus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
D                Em7             Csus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
D          Em7
A foxtrot above my head
Csus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
D               Em7               Csus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread


Chorus:
Csus2       G5            D
I'd like to make myself believe
     Em7    Csus2 G5    D   Em7
That planet Earth turns slowly
     Csus2                G5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
      Csus2     D    Em7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Csus2                G5          D
'Cause everything is never as it seems


Verse:
D             Em7         Csus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
D                  Em7          Csus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
D        Em7              Csus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
D                Em7            Csus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

D              Em7
To ten million fireflies
Csus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
D     Em7                     Csus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
D                  Em7
But I'll know where several are
Csus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
D
'cause I saved a few
    Em7              Csus2
And I keep them in a jar


Chorus:
Csus2       G5            D
I'd like to make myself believe
     Em7    Csus2 G5    D   Em7
That planet Earth turns slowly
    Csus2                G5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
      Csus2     D    Em7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Csus2                G5          D
'Cause everything is never as it seems


Outro:
Csus2                 G5
Because my dreams are bursting
       D    Em7 Csus2 D Em7 Csus2
