D Em7 Csus2
D Em7 Csus2
[Verse 1]
D Em7
You would not believe your eyes
Csus2
If ten million fireflies
D Em7 Csus2
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
D Em7
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Csus2
Leave teardrops everywhere
D
You'd think me rude
Em7 Csus2
But I would've just stand and stare
[Chorus]
Csus2 G5 D
I'd like to make myself believe
Em7 Csus2 G5 D Em7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Csus2 G5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Csus2 D Em7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Csus2 G5 D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Verse 2]
D Em7
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Csus2
From ten thousand lightning bugs
D Em7 Csus2
As they tried to teach me how to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
D Em7
A foxtrot above my head
Csus2
A sockhop beneath my bed
D Em7 Csus2
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
Csus2 G5 D
I'd like to make myself believe
Em7 Csus2 G5 D Em7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Csus2 G5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Csus2 D Em7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Csus2 G5 D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Bridge]
D Em7 Csus2
Leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
D Em7 Csus2
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(please take me away from here)
D Em7 Csus2
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
D Em7 Csus2
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
D Em7
To ten million fireflies
Csus2
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
D Em7 Csus2
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
D Em7
But I'll know where several are
Csus2
If my dreams get real bizarre
D
'cause I saved a few
Em7 Csus2
And I keep them in a jar
[Chorus]
Csus2 G5 D
I'd like to make myself believe
Em7 Csus2 G5 D Em7
That planet Earth turns slowly
Csus2 G5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
Csus2 D Em7
Stay awake when I'm asleep
Csus2 G5 D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
[Outro]
Csus2 G5
Because my dreams are bursting
D Em7 Csus2 D Em7 Csus2
At the seams
