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 fill the open air 
Ab
     And leave teardrops everywhere
         Bb                Eb                      Ab
     You think me rude, but I would just stand and stare

Ab               Eb/G          Bbsus4    
     I'd like to make myself believe
                 Ab    Eb    Gm  Ab
     That planet earth turns slowly
          Ab                   Eb           Ab        Bb   Cm
     It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
             Ab           Eb          F
     Cause everything is never as it seems

Bb                  Eb                 
     Cause I get a thousand hugs
Ab
     From ten thousand lightning bugs
Bb                  Eb               Ab
     As they try to teach me how to dance
Bb               Eb
     A foxtrot above my head
Ab
     A sockhop beneath my bed
          Bb            Eb               Ab
     The disco ball is just hanging by a thread

Ab               Cm            Bbsus4    
     I'd like to make myself believe
                 Ab    Eb    Gm  Ab
     That planet earth turns slowly
          Ab                   Eb           Ab        Bb   Cm
     It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
             Ab           Eb          Bb
     Cause everything is never as it seems

Bb                 Eb          Ab
     Leave my door open just a crack
Bb                     Eb            Ab
     Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Bb            Eb               Ab
     Why do I tire of counting sheep?
Bb                   Eb             Ab
     When I'm far to tired to fall asleep

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 know where several are
Ab
     If my dreams get real bizarre
           Bb                Eb              Ab
     Cause I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar


Ab               Cm            Bbsus4    
     I'd like to make myself believe
                 Ab    Eb    Gm  Ab
     That planet earth turns slowly
          Ab                   Eb           Ab        Bb   Cm
     It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
             Ab           Eb          F
     Cause everything is never as it seems


Ab               Cm            Bbsus4    
     I'd like to make myself believe
                 Ab    Eb    Gm  Ab
     That planet earth turns slowly
          Ab                   Eb           Ab        Bb   Cm
     It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
             Ab           Eb          Bb
     Cause everything is never as it seems

              
            Cm            Bb   
     I'd like to make myself believe
                 Ab    Eb    Gm  Ab
     That planet earth turns slowly
          Ab                   Eb           Ab        Bb   Cm
     It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
         Ab                   Eb             Bb
     Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
