[Verse 1]C G
You would not believe your eyes
Am F
If ten million fireflies
C G Am
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
C G
Cuz they'd fill the open air
Am F
And leave tear-drops everywhere
C G Am F
You'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
[Chorus]Am C G
I'd like to make myself believe
F Am C G Am
That planet earth turns slowly
Am G C G Am
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Am G C
Cuz everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]C G
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Am F
From ten thousand lightning bugs
C G Am F
As they tried to teach me how to dance
C G
A foxtrot above my head
Am F
A sock hop beneath my bed
C G Am F
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]Am C G
I'd like to make myself believe
F Am C G Am
That planet earth turns slowly
Am G C G Am
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Am G C
Cuz everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]C G Am
Leave my door open just a crack
F C
(Please take me away from here)
G Am
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
F C
(Please take me away from here)
G Am
Why do I tire of counting sheep
F C
(Please take me away from here)
G Am Fm
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
[Verse 3]C G
To ten million fireflies
Am F
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
C G Am F
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
C G
But I'll know where several are
Am F
If my dreams get real bizarre
C G Am F
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
[Outro]Am C G
I'd like to make myself believe
F Am C G Am
That planet earth turns slowly
Am G C G Am
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Am G C
Cuz everything is never as it seems
C
When I fall asleep (x2)
Am C G
I'd like to make myself believe
F Am C G Am
That planet earth turns slowly
Am G C G Am
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
C G Am F C
