Intro:
C
Verse 1:
C G Am F
you would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies
C G Am F
lit up the world as i fell asleep
C G Am F
cause they'd feel the open air and leave teardrops everywhere
C G Am F
you'd think me rude but i would just stand and stare
C G
i'd like to make myself believe
F C G Am
that planet earth turns slowly
F C Am
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay awake when i'm asleep
F C G
cause everything is never as it seems
Verse 2:
C G Am F
cause i get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
C G Am F
as they try to teach me how to dance
C G Am F
a foxtrot above my head, a sockhop beneath my bed
C G Am F
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
C G
i'd like to make myself believe
F C G Am
that planet earth turns slowly
F C Am
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay awake when i'm asleep
F C G
cause everything is never as it seems
(when i fall asleep)
Bridge:
C G Am
leave my door open just a crack
F
(please take me away from here)
C G Am
cause i feel like such an insomniac
F
(please take me away from here)
C G Am
why do tire of counting sheep
F
(please take me away from here)
C G Am F
when i'm far to tired to fall asleep
Verse 3:
C G Am F
to ten million fireflies, i'm weird cause i hate goodbyes
C G Am F
got misty eyes as they said farewell
C G Am F
but i'll know where several are if my dreams get real bizzare
C G Am F
cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar
F C G
i'd like to make myself believe
F C G Am
that planet earth turns slowly
F C F Am
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay awake when i'm asleep
F C G
cause everything is never as it seems

when i fall asleep
