Chords with lyrics

This is my first tab, but I'm pretty sure that it is right. I don't know why people always use a capo for this
song, so I also wrote down the real chords. Capos are overrated if you ask me :D


Capo on third fret. Chords without capo below


Chord diagramG+G                      Chord diagramC majorC
      You would not believe your eyes
Chord diagramFF
      If ten million fireflies
Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramFF
      Lit up the world as I fell asleep

repeat

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
I'd like to make myself believe
            Chord diagramFF     Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramFF
That planet Earth turns slowly
      Chord diagramFF                   Chord diagramC majorC
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Chord diagramFF          Chord diagramA minorAm     Chord diagramFF
Awake when I'm asleep
       Chord diagramFF              Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramG+G
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

Chord diagramA augmentedA foxtrot above my head
Chord diagramA augmentedA sock hop beneath my bed
Chord diagramA augmentedA disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

This part seems different, but repeat verse chords

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

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Without capo
