Fireflies

G C F


[Verse 1]
G                C
You would not believe your eyes
F                        G       
If ten million fireflies lit up 
   C                F
the world as I fell asleep
G                      C
'Cause they'd fill the open air
F
and leave teardrops everywhere
G                        C       
you'd think me rude but I'd just 
           F
stand and stare


[Chorus 1]
F              C         G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em    F
that planet Earth turns slowly
         F               C     
It's hard to say that I'd rather 
       F      G      Am
stay awake when I'm asleep
F                   C          D
'Cause everything is never as it 
seems


[Verse 2]
G                C             F
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from 
ten thousand lightning bugs
G                C            
as they tried to teach me how to 
    F
dance
G         C
A foxtrot above my head
F
a sockhop beneath my bed
G                 C              
a disco ball is just hanging by a
      F
 thread

[Chorus 2]
F              Am         G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em    F
that planet Earth turns slowly
         F               C     
It's hard to say that I'd rather 
       F      G      Am
stay awake when I'm asleep
F                   C         
'Cause everything is never as it 
    G
seems
           F
When I fall asleep


[Bridge]
G              C          F
leave my door open just a crack

(please take me away from here)
G                  C             F
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

(please take me away from here)
G        C                F
why do I tire of counting sheep

(please take me away from here)
G                 C         
when I'm far too tired to fall 
        F
asleep


[Verse 3]
G                      C
To ten million fireflies
F
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
G           C              
I got misty eyes as they said 
   F
farewell
G                  C
but I'll know where several are
F
if my dreams get real bizarre
       G                C         
'cause I saved a few and I keep 
        F
them in a jar


[Chorus 3]
F              Am         G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em    F
that planet Earth turns slowly
         F               C     
It's hard to say that I'd rather 
       F      G      Am
stay awake when I'm asleep
F                   C         
'Cause everything is never as it 
    D
seems
           F
When I fall asleep

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

F              Am         G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em    F
that planet Earth turns slowly
         F               C     
It's hard to say that I'd rather 
       F      G      Am
stay awake when I'm asleep
F                   C            
Because my dreams are bursting at
     G
 the seams...
