Capo on 3rd fret

C5                G5
 You would not believe your eyes
A5               F5
  If ten million fireflies
C5           G5                 A5
 Lit up the world as I fell asleep
C5                    G5
 Cuz they'd fill the open air
A5                    F5
 And leave tear-drops everywhere
       C5                 G5                A5      F5 
 You'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare

A5           C5             G5     
 I'd like to make myself believe 
F5             A5    C5     G5   A5
  That planet earth turns slowly
    A5                   G5            C5         G5     A5 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    A5            G5            C5
Cuz everything is never as it seems

C5                 G5
 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
A5                 F5
 From ten thousand lightning bugs
C5                 G5               A5    F5
 As they tried to teach me how to dance

C5           G5           
 A foxtrot above my head
A5            F5
 A sock hop beneath my bed
  C5             G5                A5       F5
A disco ball is just hanging by a  thread

A5           C5             G5     
 I'd like to make myself believe 
F5             A5    C5     G5   A5
  That planet earth turns slowly
    A5                   G5            C5         G5     A5 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    A5            G5            C5
Cuz everything is never as it seems

C5              G5           A5
 Leave my door open just a crack
        F5                 C5
(Please take me away from here)
                    G5             A5
 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
        F5                 C5
(Please take me away from here)
         G5                A5
Why do I tire of counting sheep
        F5                 C5
(Please take me away from here)
                 G5              A5     F5
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

C5               G5
 To ten million fireflies
A5                  F5
 I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
  C5              G5            A5       F5
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

C5                    G5         
 But I'll know where several are
A5                F5           
 If my dreams get real bizarre
          C5                 G5             A5    F5
 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a  jar


A5           C5             G5     
 I'd like to make myself believe 
F5             A5    C5     G5   A5
  That planet earth turns slowly
    A5                   G5            C5         G5     A5 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    A5            G5            C5
Cuz everything is never as it seems
             C5
When I fall asleep (x2)


A5           C5             G5     
 I'd like to make myself believe 
F5             A5    C5     G5   A5
  That planet earth turns slowly
    A5                   G5            C5         G5     A5 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
  C5                   G5               A5     F5            C5
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
