Fireflies

B E A  (  )
 
B                          E
You would not believe your eyes
A                            B                     E      A
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
B                      E
'Cause they'd fill the open air
A
and leave teardrops everywhere
B              E                  A
you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
 
 
A              E         B
I'd like to make myself believe
            A     E     G#m    A
that planet Earth turns slowly
        A               E            A      B      C#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
A                   E          F#
'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
 
A              C#m         B
I'd like to make myself believe
            A     E     G#m    A
that planet Earth turns slowly
        A               E            A      B      C#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
A                   E             B
'Cause everything is never as it seems
           A
When i fall asleep
 
B E A  
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
 
A              C#m         B
I'd like to make myself believe
            A     E     G#m    A
that planet Earth turns slowly
        A               E            A      B      C#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
A                   E             F#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
           A
When i fall asleep
 
A              C#m         B
I'd like to make myself believe
            A     E     G#m    A
that planet Earth turns slowly
        A               E            A      B      C#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
A                   E             B
'Cause everything is never as it seems
           A
When i fall asleep
 
A              C#m         B
I'd like to make myself believe
            A     E     G#m    A
that planet Earth turns slowly
        A               E            A      B      C#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
A                   E                 B
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
