[Intro]
G# A#m7 F#sus2
G# A#m7 F#sus2
[Verse 1]
G# A#m7
You would not believe your eyes
F#sus2
If ten million fireflies
G# A#m7 F#sus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
G# A#m7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
F#sus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
G#
You'd think me rude
A#m7 F#sus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
F#sus2 C#5 G#
I'd like to make myself believe
A#m7 F#sus2 C#5 G# A#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
F#sus2 C#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
F#sus2 G# A#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
F#sus2 C#5 G#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
G# A#m7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
F#sus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
G# A#m7 F#sus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
G# A#m7
A foxtrot above my head
F#sus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
G# A#m7 F#sus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
F#sus2 C#5 G#
I'd like to make myself believe
A#m7 F#sus2 C#5 G# A#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
F#sus2 C#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
F#sus2 G# A#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
F#sus2 C#5 G#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
G# A#m7 F#sus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
G# A#m7 F#sus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
G# A#m7 F#sus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
G# A#m7 F#sus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
G# A#m7
To ten million fireflies
F#sus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
G# A#m7 F#sus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
G# A#m7
But I'll know where several are
F#sus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
G#
'cause I saved a few
A#m7 F#sus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
F#sus2 C#5 G#
I'd like to make myself believe
A#m7 F#sus2 C#5 G# A#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
F#sus2 C#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
F#sus2 G# A#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
F#sus2 C#5 G#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
F#sus2 C#5
Because my dreams are bursting
G# A#m7 F#sus2 G# A#m7 F#sus2
At the seams
