Capo: 3rd Fret [Intro] D Em C D Em C [Verse ]
D             Em
You would not believe your eyes

C
If ten million fireflies

D          Em               C
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

D                  Em
'Cause they'd fill the open air

C
Leave teardrops everywhere

      D
You'd think me rude

    Em                        C
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
C           G             D
I'd like to make myself believe

     Em     C     G     D   Em
That planet Earth turns slowly

     C                    G
It's hard to say that I'd rather

      C         D    Em
Stay awake when I'm asleep

C                    G           D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse]
D               Em
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

C
From ten thousand lightning bugs

D                Em              C
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
D          Em
A foxtrot above my head

C
A sockhop beneath my bed

D               Em                C
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
C           G             D
I'd like to make myself believe

     Em     C     G     D   Em
That planet Earth turns slowly

     C                    G
It's hard to say that I'd rather

      C         D    Em
Stay awake when I'm asleep

C                    G           D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse]
D             Em          C
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
D                  Em           C
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
D        Em               C
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
D                Em             C
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

D              Em
To ten million fireflies

C
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

D     Em                      C
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

D                  Em
But I'll know where several are

C
If my dreams get real bizarre

D
'cause I saved a few

    Em               C
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
C           G             D
I'd like to make myself believe

     Em     C     G     D   Em
That planet Earth turns slowly

    C                    G
It's hard to say that I'd rather

      C         D    Em
Stay awake when I'm asleep

C                    G           D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
C                     G
Because my dreams are bursting

       D    Em  C     D Em  C
At the seams
