Fireflies

C                          G
You would not believe your eyes
Am              F             C                G      Am F
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
C                      G
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Am                  F
and leave teardrops everywhere
C              G                  Am       F
you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare


Chorus:
Am               C         G
I'd like to make myself believe
            Am     C     G    F
that planet Earth turns slowly
        Am               G            C      G      Am
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Am                   C          D
'Cause everything is never as it seems


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


Am               C         G
I'd like to make myself believe
            Am     C     G    F
that planet Earth turns slowly
        Am               G            C      G      Am
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Am                   C          D
'Cause everything is never as it seems


C                   G
When i fall asleep leave my door open just a crack
Am              F
(please take me away from here)
C                          G
Cause i feel like such an insomniac
Am                  F
(please take me away from here)
why do i tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
when I'm far too tired to fall asleep


To ten million fireflies
Im weird cause i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
but ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar


Chorus (x2)


Am               C         G
I'd like to make myself believe
            Am     C     G    F
that planet Earth turns slowly
        Am               G            C      G      Am
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Am                   C          D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
