[Intro]
A# Cm7 G#sus2
A# Cm7 G#sus2
[Verse 1]
A# Cm7
You would not believe your eyes
G#sus2
If ten million fireflies
A# Cm7 G#sus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
A# Cm7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
G#sus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
A#
You'd think me rude
Cm7 G#sus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
G#sus2 D#5 A#
I'd like to make myself believe
Cm7 G#sus2 D#5 A# Cm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
G#sus2 D#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
G#sus2 A# Cm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
G#sus2 D#5 A#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
A# Cm7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
G#sus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
A# Cm7 G#sus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
A# Cm7
A foxtrot above my head
G#sus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
A# Cm7 G#sus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
G#sus2 D#5 A#
I'd like to make myself believe
Cm7 G#sus2 D#5 A# Cm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
G#sus2 D#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
G#sus2 A# Cm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
G#sus2 D#5 A#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
A# Cm7 G#sus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
A# Cm7 G#sus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
A# Cm7 G#sus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
A# Cm7 G#sus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
A# Cm7
To ten million fireflies
G#sus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
A# Cm7 G#sus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
A# Cm7
But I'll know where several are
G#sus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
A#
'cause I saved a few
Cm7 G#sus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
G#sus2 D#5 A#
I'd like to make myself believe
Cm7 G#sus2 D#5 A# Cm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
G#sus2 D#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
G#sus2 A# Cm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
G#sus2 D#5 A#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
G#sus2 D#5
Because my dreams are bursting
A# Cm7 G#sus2 A# Cm7 G#sus2
At the seams
