Intro: F# B E x2

F#                          B
You would not believe your eyes
E                     F#
If ten million fireflies
                     B    E
Lit up the world as i fell asleep
F#                      B
ʼCause theyʼd fill the open air
E
And leave teardrops everywhere
F#              B                  E
Youʼd think me rude but Iʼd just stand and stare

Chorus:
E              B         F#
Iʼd like to make myself believe
            E     B     D#m   E
that planet Earth turns slowly
        E               B            E      F#      G#m
Its hard to say that Iʼd rather stay awake when Iʼm asleep
E                   B          C#
ʼCause everything is never as it seems

F#                          B
ʼCause id get a thousand hugs
E                     F#
From ten thousand lightning bugs
                     B    E
As they tried to teach me how to dance
F#                    B
A foxtrot above my head
E
A sockhop beneath my bed
F#              B                  E
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

E              G#m         F#
Iʼd like to make myself believe
            E     B     D#m    E
That planet Earth turns slowly
        E               B            E      F#      G#m
Its hard to say that Iʼd rather stay awake when Iʼm asleep
E                   B             F#
ʼCause everything is never as it seems
           E
When i fall asleep

F#   B   E
Leave my door open just a crack
F#   B   E
(Please take me away from here)
F#   B   E
ʼCause i feel like such an insomniac
F#   B   E
(Please take me away from here)
F#   B   E
Why do i tire of counting sheep
F#   B   E
(Please take me away from here)
F#   B   E
When Iʼm far too tired to fall asleep

F#   B   E
To ten million fireflies
F#   B   E
Iʼm weird ʼcause i hate goodbyes
F#   B   E
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
F#   B   E
But ill know where several are
F#   B   E
If my dreams get real bizarre
F#   B   E
ʼCause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar

E              G#m         F#
Iʼd like to make myself believe
            E     B     D#m    E
That planet Earth turns slowly
        E               B            E      F#      G#m
Its hard to say that Iʼd rather stay awake when Iʼm asleep
E                   B             C#
ʼCause everything is never as it seems
           E
When i fall asleep

E              G#m         F#
Iʼd like to make myself believe
            E     B     D#m    E
That planet Earth turns slowly
        E               B            E      F#      G#m
Its hard to say that Iʼd rather stay awake when Iʼm asleep
E                   B             F#
ʼCause everything is never as it seems
           E
When i fall asleep

E              G#m         F#
Iʼd like to make myself believe
            E     B     D#m    E
That planet Earth turns slowly
        E               B            E      F#      G#m
Its hard to say that Iʼd rather stay awake when Iʼm asleep
E                   B                 F#
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
