D# G#You would not believe your eyes
C# D# G# C#If ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep
D# G#'Cause they'd fill the open air
C#and leave teardrops everywhere
D# G# C#you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
C# G# D#I'd like to make myself believe
C# G# Cm C#that planet Earth turns slowly
C# G# C# D# FmIt's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
C# G# A#'Cause everything is never as it seems
D# G# C#'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
D# G# C#as they tried to teach me how to dance
D# G#A foxtrot above my head
C#a sockhop beneath my bed
D# G# C#a disco ball is just hanging by a thread

(please take me away from here)
D# G# C#why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
D# G# C#when I'm far too tired to fall asleep
D# G#To ten million fireflies
C#I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
D# G# C#I got misty eyes as they said farewell
D# G#but I'll know where several are
C#if my dreams get real bizarre
D# G# C#'cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
