[Verse 1] BbEb You would not believe your eyes G# If ten million fireflies BbEbG# lit up the world as i fell asleep BbEb Cause they'd fill the open air G# and leave teardrops everywhere Bb you'd think me rude but EbG# I'd just stand and stare
[Chorus 1] G#Eb/GBb I'd like to make myself believe G#EbGmG# that planet Earth turns slowly G#Eb Its hard to say that I'd rather G#BbCm stay awake when I'm asleep G#Eb/GFmEb/G Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2] BbEb Cause i'd get a thousand hugs G# from ten thousand lightning bugs Bb as they tried to EbG# teach me how to dance BbEb A foxtrot above my head G# a sockhop beneath my bed BbEb a disco ball is just G# hanging by a thread
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Post Chorus: G#(hold) I fall asleep
[Verse 3] BbEbG# leave my door open just a crack (please take me away from here) BbEbG# Cause i feel like such an insomniac (please take me away from here) BbEbG# why do i tire of counting sheep (please take me away from here) BbEbG# when I'm far too tired to fall asleep
[Verse 4] BbEb To ten million fireflies G# I'm weird cause i hate goodbyes BbEbG# i got misty eyes as they said farewell BbEb but i'll know where several are G# if my dreams get real bizarre Bb cause i saved a few and EbG# i keep them in a jar
(Repeat Chorus 1 twice)
[Chorus 2] G#Eb/GBb I'd like to make myself believe G#EbGmG# that planet Earth turns slowly G#Eb Its hard to say that I'd rather G#BbCm stay awake when I'm asleep G# Because my dreams are EbBb(hold) bursting at the seams
