[Intro]
C Dm7 A#sus2
C Dm7 A#sus2
[Verse 1]
C Dm7
You would not believe your eyes
A#sus2
If ten million fireflies
C Dm7 A#sus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
C Dm7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
A#sus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
C
You'd think me rude
Dm7 A#sus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
A#sus2 F5 C
I'd like to make myself believe
Dm7 A#sus2 F5 C Dm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
A#sus2 F5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
A#sus2 C Dm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
A#sus2 F5 C
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
C Dm7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
A#sus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
C Dm7 A#sus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
C Dm7
A foxtrot above my head
A#sus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
C Dm7 A#sus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
A#sus2 F5 C
I'd like to make myself believe
Dm7 A#sus2 F5 C Dm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
A#sus2 F5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
A#sus2 C Dm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
A#sus2 F5 C
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
C Dm7 A#sus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
C Dm7 A#sus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
C Dm7 A#sus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
C Dm7 A#sus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
C Dm7
To ten million fireflies
A#sus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
C Dm7 A#sus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
C Dm7
But I'll know where several are
A#sus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
C
'cause I saved a few
Dm7 A#sus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
A#sus2 F5 C
I'd like to make myself believe
Dm7 A#sus2 F5 C Dm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
A#sus2 F5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
A#sus2 C Dm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
A#sus2 F5 C
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
A#sus2 F5
Because my dreams are bursting
C Dm7 A#sus2 C Dm7 A#sus2
At the seams
