[Intro]
F Gm7 D#sus2
F Gm7 D#sus2
[Verse 1]
F Gm7
You would not believe your eyes
D#sus2
If ten million fireflies
F Gm7 D#sus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
F Gm7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
D#sus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
F
You'd think me rude
Gm7 D#sus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
D#sus2 A#5 F
I'd like to make myself believe
Gm7 D#sus2 A#5 F Gm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
D#sus2 A#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
D#sus2 F Gm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
D#sus2 A#5 F
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
F Gm7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
D#sus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
F Gm7 D#sus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
F Gm7
A foxtrot above my head
D#sus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
F Gm7 D#sus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
D#sus2 A#5 F
I'd like to make myself believe
Gm7 D#sus2 A#5 F Gm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
D#sus2 A#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
D#sus2 F Gm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
D#sus2 A#5 F
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
F Gm7 D#sus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
F Gm7 D#sus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
F Gm7 D#sus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
F Gm7 D#sus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
F Gm7
To ten million fireflies
D#sus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
F Gm7 D#sus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
F Gm7
But I'll know where several are
D#sus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
F
'cause I saved a few
Gm7 D#sus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
D#sus2 A#5 F
I'd like to make myself believe
Gm7 D#sus2 A#5 F Gm7
That planet Earth turns slowly
D#sus2 A#5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
D#sus2 F Gm7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
D#sus2 A#5 F
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
D#sus2 A#5
Because my dreams are bursting
F Gm7 D#sus2 F Gm7 D#sus2
At the seams
