Capo 3:
[C]You would not believe your [G]eyes
[Am]If ten million [F]fireflies lit [C]up the world as i fell [G]asleep[Am] [F]
[C]'Cause they'd fill the [G]open air
[Am]and leave teardrops [F]everywhere
[F]you'd think me [G]rude but I'd just [Am]stand and [F]stare
Chorus:
[Am]I'd like to make [C]myself [G]believe
that planet [Am]Earth [C]turns [G]slowly[F]
Its hard [Am]to say that I'd [G]rather stay [C]awake [G]when I'm [Am]asleep
[Am]'Cause everything is [C]never as it [D]seems
(Same chords as verse)
'Cause id get a thousand
hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Am]I'd like to make [C]myself [G]believe
that planet [Am]Earth [C]turns [G]slowly[F]
Its hard [Am]to say that I'd [G]rather stay [C]awake [G]when I'm [Am]asleep
[Am]'Cause everything is [C]never as it [D]seems
[C]When i fall asleep [G]leave my door open just a crack
[Am]please take me [F]away from here
[C]'Cause i feel like such an [G]insomniac
[Am]please take me [F]away from here)
why do i tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
when I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
but ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
'cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar
Chorus (x2)
[Am]I'd like to make [C]myself [G]believe
that planet [Am]Earth [C]turns [G]slowly[F]
Its hard [Am]to say that I'd [G]rather stay [C]awake [G]when I'm [Am]asleep
[Am]'Cause everything is [C]never as it [D]seems
