[Verse]
F Bb
You would not believe your eyes
Eb
If ten million fireflies
F Bb Eb
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
F Bb
'Cause they fill the open air
Eb
And leave teardrops everywhere
F Bb Eb
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
[Chorus]
Eb Gm F Eb Bb Dm Eb
I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
Eb Bb Eb F Gm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Eb Gm F
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Interlude]
F Bb Eb Eb x4
[Verse]
F Bb
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Eb
From ten thousand lightning bugs
F Bb Eb
As they tried to teach me how to dance
F Bb
A foxtrot above my head
Eb
A sock hop beneath my bed
F Bb Eb
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
Eb Gm F Eb Bb Dm Eb
I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
Eb Bb Eb F Gm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Eb Gm F
'Cause everything is never as it seems
F Bb Eb
Leave my door open just a crack
F Bb Eb
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
F Bb Eb
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
F Bb Eb
When I'm way too tired to go to sleep
[Verse]
F Bb
To ten million fireflies
Eb
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
F Bb Eb
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
F Bb
But I'll know where several are
Eb
If my dreams get real bizarre
F Bb Eb
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
Eb Gm F Eb Bb Dm Eb
I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
Eb Bb Eb F Gm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Eb Gm F
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[ending]
F Bb Eb Eb x4
