[Intro]
A Bm7 Gsus2
A Bm7 Gsus2
[Verse 1]
A Bm7
You would not believe your eyes
Gsus2
If ten million fireflies
A Bm7 Gsus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
A Bm7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Gsus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
A
You'd think me rude
Bm7 Gsus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
Gsus2 D5 A
I'd like to make myself believe
Bm7 Gsus2 D5 A Bm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Gsus2 D5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Gsus2 A Bm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Gsus2 D5 A
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
A Bm7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Gsus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
A Bm7 Gsus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
A Bm7
A foxtrot above my head
Gsus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
A Bm7 Gsus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
Gsus2 D5 A
I'd like to make myself believe
Bm7 Gsus2 D5 A Bm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Gsus2 D5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Gsus2 A Bm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Gsus2 D5 A
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
A Bm7 Gsus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
A Bm7 Gsus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
A Bm7 Gsus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
A Bm7 Gsus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
A Bm7
To ten million fireflies
Gsus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
A Bm7 Gsus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
A Bm7
But I'll know where several are
Gsus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
A
'cause I saved a few
Bm7 Gsus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
Gsus2 D5 A
I'd like to make myself believe
Bm7 Gsus2 D5 A Bm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Gsus2 D5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Gsus2 A Bm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Gsus2 D5 A
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
Gsus2 D5
Because my dreams are bursting
A Bm7 Gsus2 A Bm7 Gsus2
At the seams
