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

Eb           Bb             F
I'd like to make myself believe
            Eb     Bb     Dm  Eb
That planet Earth turns slowly
     Eb                    Bb           Eb          F    Gm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
    Eb             Bb           F
'Cause everything is never as it seems


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


Eb           Bb             F
I'd like to make myself believe
            Eb     Bb     Dm  Eb
That planet Earth turns slowly
     Eb                    Bb           Eb          F    Gm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
    Eb             Bb           F
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep

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

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


Eb           Bb             F
I'd like to make myself believe
            Eb     Bb     Dm  Eb
That planet Earth turns slowly
     Eb                    Bb           Eb          F    Gm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
    Eb             Bb           F
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep


Eb           Bb             F
I'd like to make myself believe
            Eb     Bb     Dm  Eb
That planet Earth turns slowly
     Eb                    Bb           Eb          F    Gm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
    Eb             Bb           F
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep


Eb           Bb             F
I'd like to make myself believe
            Eb     Bb     Dm  Eb
That planet earth turns slowly
     Eb                    Bb           Eb          F    Gm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
  Eb                   Bb               F      F  Bb
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
