🎶 Fireflies

Tone [C], Capo 3
===
G C
You would not believe your eyes
F
If ten million fireflies
G C F
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
G C
'Cause they'd fill the open air
F
And leave teardrops everywhere
G C
You'd think me rude
F
But I would just stand and stare


Chorus:
F Am G
I'd like to make myself believe
F C Em F
That planet Earth turns slowly
F C
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
F G Am
Awake when I'm asleep
F C G
'Cause everything is never as it seems


Verse:
G C
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
F
From ten thousand lightning bugs
G C F
As they tried to teach me how to dance
G C
A fox trot above my head
F
A sock hop beneath my bed
G C F
A disco ball that's just hanging by a thread

 
Chorus:
F Am G
I'd like to make myself believe
F C Em F
That planet Earth turns slowly
F C
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
F G Am
Awake when I'm asleep
F C G
'Cause everything is never as it seems
F
When I fall asleep


Bridge:
G C F
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
G C F
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
G C F
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
G C F
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep


Verse:
G C
To ten million fireflies
F
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
G C F
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
G C
But I'll know where several are
F
If my dreams get real bizarre
G C F
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

Awake when I'm asleep

When I fall asleep

Awake when I'm asleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the scenes
