Owl City - Fireflies

fixed some errors in first tabber’s version . there’s a couple quick transitions at the
of verses and choruses that i left out . let me know if there’s any problems .

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 . . .
