VERSE ONE:
Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
You would not believe your eyes
AbAb
If ten million fireflies
Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb       AbAb
Lit up the world as I fell asleep


Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb
'Cause they'd fill the open air
AbAb
And leave teardrops everywhere

AbAb    Eb MajorEb    Eb/GEb/G AbAb
That planet Earth turns slowly
AbAb         Eb MajorEb       AbAb   Bb majorBb   C minorCm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
AbAb      Eb MajorEb    FF  AbAb
'Cause everything is never as it seems

VERSE TWO:
Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
AbAb
From ten thousand lightning bugs
Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb       AbAb
As they tried to teach me how to dance
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
A augmentedA foxtrot above my head
AbAb
A augmentedA sock hop beneath my bed
Bb majorBb                 AbAb
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread

Leave my door open just a crack

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
AbAb             Bb majorBb

Why do I tire of counting sheep

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
Bb majorBb                AbAb
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (Said farewell)
Bb majorBb
But I'll know where several are
AbAb
If my dreams get real bizarre
Bb majorBb                 AbAb
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (Jar, jar, jar)
