Fire Flies chords by Owl City

Guitar 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


G           C
   You would not believe your eyes
F
   If ten million fireflies
G         C         F
   Lit up the world as I fell asleep

repeat
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

F      C       G
I'd like to make myself believe
      F   C   G   F
That planet Earth turns slowly
   F          C
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
F     Am   F
Awake when I'm asleep
    F       C      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

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A 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
