Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 3]

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

/ G GC / F - / G GC F - / :

{Refrain}
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

/ F C G - / F C Em F / F C FG Am / F C D DF /

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

{Refrain}
... 'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

... / F C D - / F - /

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

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

{This refrain twice}
... 'Cause everything is never as it seems, When I fall asleep

... / F C D - /

{As refrain}
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
