[Intro]
F# G#m7 Esus2
F# G#m7 Esus2
[Verse 1]
F# G#m7
You would not believe your eyes
Esus2
If ten million fireflies
F# G#m7 Esus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
F# G#m7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Esus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
F#
You'd think me rude
G#m7 Esus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
Esus2 B5 F#
I'd like to make myself believe
G#m7 Esus2 B5 F# G#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Esus2 B5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Esus2 F# G#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Esus2 B5 F#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
F# G#m7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Esus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
F# G#m7 Esus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
F# G#m7
A foxtrot above my head
Esus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
F# G#m7 Esus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
Esus2 B5 F#
I'd like to make myself believe
G#m7 Esus2 B5 F# G#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Esus2 B5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Esus2 F# G#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Esus2 B5 F#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
F# G#m7 Esus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
F# G#m7 Esus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
F# G#m7 Esus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
F# G#m7 Esus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
F# G#m7
To ten million fireflies
Esus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
F# G#m7 Esus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
F# G#m7
But I'll know where several are
Esus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
F#
'cause I saved a few
G#m7 Esus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
Esus2 B5 F#
I'd like to make myself believe
G#m7 Esus2 B5 F# G#m7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Esus2 B5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Esus2 F# G#m7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Esus2 B5 F#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
Esus2 B5
Because my dreams are bursting
F# G#m7 Esus2 F# G#m7 Esus2
At the seams
