A# D#You would not believe your eyes
G# A# D# G#If ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep
A# D#'Cause they'd fill the open air
G#and leave teardrops everywhere
A# D# G#you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
G# D# A#I'd like to make myself believe
G# D# Gm G#that planet Earth turns slowly
G# D# G# A# CmIt's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
G# D# F'Cause everything is never as it seems
A# D# G#'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
A# D# G#as they tried to teach me how to dance
A# D#A foxtrot above my head
G#a sockhop beneath my bed
A# D# G#a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
G# Cm A#I'd like to make myself believe
G# D# Gm G#that planet Earth turns slowly
G# D# G# A# CmIt's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
G# D# A#'Cause everything is never as it seems
G#When I fall asleep
A# D# G#leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
A# D# G#'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
A# D# G#why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
A# D# G#when I'm far too tired to fall asleep
A# D#To ten million fireflies
G#I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
A# D# G#I got misty eyes as they said farewell
A# D#but I'll know where several are
G#if my dreams get real bizarre
A# D# G#'cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
G# Cm A#I'd like to make myself believe
G# D# Gm G#that planet Earth turns slowly
G# D# G# A# CmIt's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
