G Cadd9 Fadd9
[verse 1]
G Cadd9
You would not believe your eyes
Fadd9
If ten million fireflies
G Cadd9 Fadd9
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
G Cadd9
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Fadd9
And leave teardrops everywhere
G
You'd think me rude
Cadd9 Fadd9
But I would just stand and stare
[chorus]
Fadd9 G D
I'd like to make myself believe
Fadd9 G Em7-Cadd9
That planet Earth turns slowly
Fadd9 G
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Em7 Cadd9
Awake when I'm asleep
Fadd9 G D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[verse 2]
G Cadd9
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Fadd9
From ten thousand lightning bugs
G Cadd9 Fadd9
As they tried to teach me how to dance
G Cadd9
A fox trot above my head
Fadd9
A sock hop beneath my bed
G Cadd9 Fadd9
A disco ball that's just hanging by a thread
[chorus]
Fadd9 G D
I'd like to make myself believe
Fadd9 G Em7-Cadd9
That planet Earth turns slowly
Fadd9 G
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Em7 Cadd9
Awake when I'm asleep
Fadd9 G D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[bridge]
G Cadd9 Fadd9
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
G Cadd9 Fadd9
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
G Cadd9 Fadd9
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
G Cadd9 Fadd9
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
[verse 3]
G Cadd9
To ten million fireflies
Fadd9
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
G Cadd9 Fadd9
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
G Cadd9
But I'll know where several are
Fadd9
If my dreams get real bizarre
G Cadd9 Fadd9
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
[chorus]
Fadd9 G D
I'd like to make myself believe
Fadd9 G Em7-Cadd9
That planet Earth turns slowly
Fadd9 G
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Em7 Cadd9
Awake when I'm asleep
Fadd9 G D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Cadd9
When I fall asleep
Fadd9 G D
I'd like to make myself believe
Fadd9 G Em7-Cadd9
That planet Earth turns slowly
Fadd9 G
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Em7 Cadd9
Awake when I'm asleep
Fadd9 G D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Cadd9
When I fall asleep
Fadd9 G D
I'd like to make myself believe
Fadd9 G Em7-Cadd9
That planet Earth turns slowly
Fadd9 G
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Em7 Cadd9
Awake when I'm asleep
Fadd9 G D
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
