VERSE ONE:
Bb Eb
You would not believe your eyes
Ab
If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

And leave teardrops everywhere

You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare

Ab Eb/G Bbsus4
I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

Ab Eb F Ab
'Cause everything is never as it seems
VERSE TWO:
Bb Eb
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed
Bb Ab
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread

To ten million fireflies

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 (Jar, jar, jar)
