Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
C F C F

[Verse 1]

C
You would not believe your eyes
F
If ten million fireflies
C F
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 would just stand and stare

[Chorus]

F Am G
I’d like to make myself believe
F C Em F
That Planet Earth turns slowly
C
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
F C Am F
Awake when I’m asleep
F C D
‘Cause everything is never as it seems

[Verse 2]

G C
‘Cause I’d get a thousand hugs
F
From ten thousand lightning bugs
G C Am
As they tried to teach me how to dance
G C
A foxtrot above my head
F
A sock hop beneath my bed
G C F
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

[Chorus]

F Am G
I’d like to make myself believe
F C Em F
That Planet Earth turns slowly
C
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
F C Am F
Awake when I’m asleep
F C D
‘Cause everything is never as it seems

[Bridge]

G C F
Leave my door open just a crack (please take me away from here)
G C F
‘Cause I feel like such an insomniac(please take me away from here)
G C F
Why do I tire of counting sheep(please take me away from here)
G C F
When I’m far too tired to fall asleep?

[Interlude]

G C F G C F

[Chorus]

F Am G
I’d like to make myself believe
F C Em F
That Planet Earth turns slowly
C
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
F C Am F
Awake when I’m asleep
F C D
‘Cause everything is never as it seems

[Outro]

F Am G
When I fall asleep
F G Am F
Mmmmmmmmm…
F C F G Am
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
F C D
‘Cause everything is never as it seems
