[Intro]
C# D#m7 Bsus2
C# D#m7 Bsus2
[Verse 1]
C# D#m7
You would not believe your eyes
Bsus2
If ten million fireflies
C# D#m7 Bsus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
C# D#m7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Bsus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
C#
You'd think me rude
D#m7 Bsus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
Bsus2 F#5 C#
I'd like to make myself believe
D#m7 Bsus2 F#5 C# D#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Bsus2 F#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Bsus2 C# D#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Bsus2 F#5 C#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
C# D#m7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Bsus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
C# D#m7 Bsus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
C# D#m7
A foxtrot above my head
Bsus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
C# D#m7 Bsus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
Bsus2 F#5 C#
I'd like to make myself believe
D#m7 Bsus2 F#5 C# D#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Bsus2 F#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Bsus2 C# D#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Bsus2 F#5 C#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
C# D#m7 Bsus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
C# D#m7 Bsus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
C# D#m7 Bsus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
C# D#m7 Bsus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
C# D#m7
To ten million fireflies
Bsus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
C# D#m7 Bsus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
C# D#m7
But I'll know where several are
Bsus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
C#
'cause I saved a few
D#m7 Bsus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
Bsus2 F#5 C#
I'd like to make myself believe
D#m7 Bsus2 F#5 C# D#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Bsus2 F#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Bsus2 C# D#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Bsus2 F#5 C#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
Bsus2 F#5
Because my dreams are bursting
C# D#m7 Bsus2 C# D#m7 Bsus2
At the seams
