Ab               Db
You would not believe your eyes
Gb              Gb
If ten million fireflies
Ab          Db               Gb
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Ab                 Db
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Gb                   Gb
And leave teardrops everywhere
Ab                      Db                      Gb
You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare

Gb           Db             Ab
I'd like to make myself believe
            Gb     Db     Fm  Gb
That planet Earth turns slowly
     Gb                    Db           Gb          Ab    Bbm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
    Gb             Db           Ab
'Cause everything is never as it seems


Ab           Db
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Gb
From ten thousand lightning bugs
Ab              Db               Gb
As they tried to teach me how to dance
Ab          Db
a foxtrot above my head
Gb
a sock hop beneath my bed
  Ab             Db                 Gb
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread

Ab             Db           Gb
Leave my door open just a crack - Please take me away from here -
Ab               Db              Gb
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac - Please take me away from here -
Ab        Db                Gb
Why do I tire of counting sheep - Please take me away from here -
Ab               Db               Gb
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

Ab              Db
To ten million fireflies
Gb
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
Ab           Db                     Gb
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
Ab                Db
But I'll know where several are
Gb
If my dreams get real bizarre
Ab                     Db               Gb
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
