tabbed by anya

capo on 3rd fret

C G
you would not believe your eyes
Am F
if ten million fireflies
C G Am
lit up the world as i fell asleep
C G
cuz they’d fill the open air
Am F
and leave tear – drops everywhere
C G Am F
you’d think me rude but i’d just stand and stare

Am C G
i’d like to make myself believe
F Am C G Am
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 G C
cuz everything is never as it seems

C G
’cause i’d get a thousand hugs
Am F
from ten thousand lightning bugs
C G Am F
as they tried to teach me how to dance

C G
a foxtrot above my head
Am F
a sock hop beneath my bed
C G Am F
a disco ball is just hanging by A thread

Am C G
i’d like to make myself believe
F Am C G Am
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 G C
cuz everything is never as it seems

C G Am
leave my door open just a crack
F C
( please take me away from here )
G Am
’cause i feel like such an insomniac
F C
( please take me away from here )
G Am
why do i tire of counting sheep
F C
( please take me away from here )
G Am Fm
when i’m far too tired to fall asleep

C G
to ten million fireflies
Am F
i’m weird ’cause i hate goodbyes
C G Am F
i got misty eyes as they said farewell

C G
but i’ll know where several are
Am F
if my dreams get real bizarre
C G Am F
’cause i saved a few and i keep them in A jar

Am C G
i’d like to make myself believe
F Am C G Am
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 G C
cuz everything is never as it seems
C
when i fall asleep ( x2 )

Am C G
i’d like to make myself believe
F Am C G Am
that planet earth turns slowly
Am G C G Am
its hard to say that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep
C G Am F C
because my dreams are bursting at the seams
