Verse 1:
Bb                Eb
  You would not believe your eyes
Ab
  If ten million fireflies
Bb           Eb                Ab
  lit up the world as i fell asleep
Bb                      Eb     
  Cause they'd fill the open air
Ab
  and leave teardrops everywhere
      Bb
you'd think me rude but 
Eb                  Ab
I'd just stand and stare


Chorus 1:
Ab            Eb/G          Bb
  I'd like to make myself believe
            Ab    Eb     Gm Ab
that planet Earth turns slowly
    Ab                   Eb
Its hard to say that I'd rather 
      Ab        Bb    Cm
stay awake when I'm asleep
      Ab            Eb/G        Fm   Eb/G
Cause everything is never as it seems


Verse 2:
Bb                Eb
  Cause i'd get a thousand hugs 
Ab
  from ten thousand lightning bugs
Bb
  as they tried to 
Eb              Ab
teach me how to dance
Bb           Eb
  A foxtrot above my head
Ab
  a sockhop beneath my bed
  Bb            Eb
a disco ball is just 
             Ab
hanging by a thread


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Post Chorus:
         Ab(hold)
I fall asleep


Verse 3:
Bb              Eb          Ab      
  leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
Bb                  Eb             Ab
  Cause i feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
Bb         Eb               Ab
  why do i tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
Bb             Eb                 Ab
  when I'm far too tired to fall asleep


Verse 4:
Bb               Eb
  To ten million fireflies
Ab
  I'm weird cause i hate goodbyes
Bb            Eb                Ab
  i got misty eyes as they said farewell
Bb                    Eb
  but i'll know where several are
Ab
  if my dreams get real bizarre
      Bb
cause i saved a few and 
Eb               Ab
i keep them in a jar


(Repeat Chorus 1 twice)


Chorus 2:
Ab            Eb/G          Bb
  I'd like to make myself believe
            Ab    Eb     Gm Ab
that planet Earth turns slowly
    Ab                   Eb
Its hard to say that I'd rather 
      Ab        Bb    Cm
stay awake when I'm asleep
  Ab
Because my dreams are 
Eb              Bb(hold)
bursting at the seams
