[Intro]
G Am7 Fsus2
G Am7 Fsus2
[Verse 1]
G Am7
You would not believe your eyes
Fsus2
If ten million fireflies
G Am7 Fsus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
G Am7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Fsus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
G
You'd think me rude
Am7 Fsus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
Fsus2 C5 G
I'd like to make myself believe
Am7 Fsus2 C5 G Am7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Fsus2 C5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Fsus2 G Am7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Fsus2 C5 G
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
G Am7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Fsus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
G Am7 Fsus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
G Am7
A foxtrot above my head
Fsus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
G Am7 Fsus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
Fsus2 C5 G
I'd like to make myself believe
Am7 Fsus2 C5 G Am7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Fsus2 C5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Fsus2 G Am7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Fsus2 C5 G
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
G Am7 Fsus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
G Am7 Fsus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
G Am7 Fsus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
G Am7 Fsus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
G Am7
To ten million fireflies
Fsus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
G Am7 Fsus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
G Am7
But I'll know where several are
Fsus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
G
'cause I saved a few
Am7 Fsus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
Fsus2 C5 G
I'd like to make myself believe
Am7 Fsus2 C5 G Am7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Fsus2 C5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Fsus2 G Am7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Fsus2 C5 G
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
Fsus2 C5
Because my dreams are bursting
G Am7 Fsus2 G Am7 Fsus2
At the seams
