[Intro]
D# Fm7 C#sus2
D# Fm7 C#sus2
[Verse 1]
D# Fm7
You would not believe your eyes
C#sus2
If ten million fireflies
D# Fm7 C#sus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
D# Fm7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
C#sus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
D#
You'd think me rude
Fm7 C#sus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
C#sus2 G#5 D#
I'd like to make myself believe
Fm7 C#sus2 G#5 D# Fm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
C#sus2 G#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
C#sus2 D# Fm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
C#sus2 G#5 D#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
D# Fm7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
C#sus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
D# Fm7 C#sus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
D# Fm7
A foxtrot above my head
C#sus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
D# Fm7 C#sus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
C#sus2 G#5 D#
I'd like to make myself believe
Fm7 C#sus2 G#5 D# Fm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
C#sus2 G#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
C#sus2 D# Fm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
C#sus2 G#5 D#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
D# Fm7 C#sus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
D# Fm7 C#sus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
D# Fm7 C#sus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
D# Fm7 C#sus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
D# Fm7
To ten million fireflies
C#sus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
D# Fm7 C#sus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
D# Fm7
But I'll know where several are
C#sus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
D#
'cause I saved a few
Fm7 C#sus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
C#sus2 G#5 D#
I'd like to make myself believe
Fm7 C#sus2 G#5 D# Fm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
C#sus2 G#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
C#sus2 D# Fm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
C#sus2 G#5 D#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
C#sus2 G#5
Because my dreams are bursting
D# Fm7 C#sus2 D# Fm7 C#sus2
At the seams
