Fire Flies(Chords)

	        

G                      C  
      You would not believe your eyes  
F        
      If ten million fireflies  
G                 C                 F  
      Lit up the world as I fell asleep  

repeat  

'Cause they'd fill the open air  
And leave teardrops everywhere  
You'd think me rude  
But I would just stand and stare  

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


'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  

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  
When I fall asleep  

This part seems different, but repeat verse chords  

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  

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  
When I fall asleep  

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  
When I fall asleep  

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
