Key: Chorus:
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
C 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(still
unsure about last
chord!)
'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(still
unsure about last
chord!)
'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
