Capo 3:
[C] You would not believe your [G] eyes
[Am] If ten million [F] fireflies lit [C] up the world as i fell [G] asleep[Am] [F]
[C] 'Cause they'd fill the [G] open air
[Am] and leave teardrops [F] everywhere
[F] you'd think me [G] rude but I'd just [Am] stand and [F] stare
Chorus:
[Am] I'd like to make [C] myself [G] believe
that planet [Am] Earth [C] turns [G] slowly[F]
Its hard [Am] to say that I'd [G] rather stay [C] awake [G] when I'm [Am] asleep
[Am] 'Cause everything is [C] never as it [D] seems
(Same chords as verse)
'Cause id get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Am] I'd like to make [C] myself [G] believe
that planet [Am] Earth [C] turns [G] slowly[F]
Its hard [Am] to say that I'd [G] rather stay [C] awake [G] when I'm [Am] asleep
[Am] 'Cause everything is [C] never as it [D] seems
[C] When i fall asleep [G] leave my door open just a crack
[Am] please take me [F] away from here
[C] 'Cause i feel like such an [G] insomniac
[Am] please take me [F] 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 ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
'cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar
Chorus (x2)
[Am] I'd like to make [C] myself [G] believe
that planet [Am] Earth [C] turns [G] slowly[F]
Its hard [Am] to say that I'd [G] rather stay [C] awake [G] when I'm [Am] asleep
[Am] 'Cause everything is [C] never as it [D] seems
