Fireflies

Capo 3:

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

F 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

(Same chords as 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

I'm 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
