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

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


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


B           Gb             Db

'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep

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

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


B           Gb             Db
I'd like to make myself believe
