[Intro]
E F#m7 Dsus2
E F#m7 Dsus2
[Verse 1]
E F#m7
You would not believe your eyes
Dsus2
If ten million fireflies
E F#m7 Dsus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
E F#m7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Dsus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
E
You'd think me rude
F#m7 Dsus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
Dsus2 A5 E
I'd like to make myself believe
F#m7 Dsus2 A5 E F#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Dsus2 A5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Dsus2 E F#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Dsus2 A5 E
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
E F#m7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Dsus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
E F#m7 Dsus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
E F#m7
A foxtrot above my head
Dsus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
E F#m7 Dsus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
Dsus2 A5 E
I'd like to make myself believe
F#m7 Dsus2 A5 E F#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Dsus2 A5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Dsus2 E F#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Dsus2 A5 E
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
E F#m7 Dsus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
E F#m7 Dsus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
E F#m7 Dsus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
E F#m7 Dsus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
E F#m7
To ten million fireflies
Dsus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
E F#m7 Dsus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
E F#m7
But I'll know where several are
Dsus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
E
'cause I saved a few
F#m7 Dsus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
Dsus2 A5 E
I'd like to make myself believe
F#m7 Dsus2 A5 E F#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Dsus2 A5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Dsus2 E F#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Dsus2 A5 E
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
Dsus2 A5
Because my dreams are bursting
E F#m7 Dsus2 E F#m7 Dsus2
At the seams
