Capo on the 3rd fret
G - C - F --(2x)
G C
You would not believe your eyes
F G C F
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
G C
´Cause they´d fill the open air
F
and leave teardrops everywhere
G C F
you´d think me rude but I´d just stand and stare
Chorus:
F C G
I´d like to make myself believe
F C Em F
that planet Earth turns slowly
F C F G Am
Its hard to say that I´d rather stay awake when I´m asleep
F 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
F Am G
I´d like to make myself believe
F C Em F
that planet Earth turns slowly
F C F G Am
Its hard to say that I´d rather stay awake when I´m asleep
F C G
´Cause everything is never as it seems
F
When i fall asleep
G - C - F --
leave my door open just A crack
(please take me away from here)
´Cause i feel like such an insomniac
(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
F Am G
I´d like to make myself believe
F C Em F
that planet Earth turns slowly
F C F G Am
Its hard to say that I´d rather stay awake when I´m asleep
F C D
´Cause everything is never as it 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 F G Am
Its hard to say that I´d rather stay awake when I´m asleep
F C G
´Cause everything is never as it 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 F G Am
Its hard to say that I´d rather stay awake when I´m asleep
F C G
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
