[Verse 1]
G C
You would not believe your eyes
F
If ten million fireflies
G C F
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
[Chorus]
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 stay
F G Am
Awake when I'm asleep
F C D7
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
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 stay
F G Am
Awake when I'm asleep
F C D7
'Cause everything is never as it seems
