Fireflies

You would not believe your eyes (Bb)if ten million fireflies (C)lit up the (F)world as I fell (Bb)asleep.

(C)'Cause they'd fill the (F)open air (Bb)and leave teardrops ev'rywhere.

You'd (C)think me rude, but (F)I would just stand (Bb)and (F)stare.

I'd like to make myself (Csus)believe that planet (Bb)Earth (F)turns (Fmaj7)(Bb)slowly.

It's hard to say that I'd (F)rather stay (Bb)awake when (C)I'm (Dm)asleep,

'cause (Bb)ev'rything is (F)never as it seems.

'Cause I get a thousand hugs (Bb)from ten thousand lightning bugs (F)as they try to teach me they how to (Bb)dance:

(C)A foxtrot (F)above my head, (Bb)a sock hop beneath my bed,

a (C)disco ball is (F)just hanging by a (Bb)thread.

(F)I'd like to make myself (Csus)believe that planet (Bb)Earth (F)turns (Bb)slowly.

It's hard to say that I'd (F)rather stay (Bb)awake when (C)I'm (Dm)asleep,

'cause (Bb)ev'rything is (F)never as it (Csus)seems when I (Dm)fall (Bb)asleep.

(C)Leave my door (F)open just a (Bb)crack,

(Please take me away from (C)here.)

'cause I feel like (F)such an (Bb)insomniac.

(Please take me away from (F)here.)

Why do I tire of counting (Bb)sheep (Please take me away from (C)here.)

when I'm far too (F)tired to fall (Bb)asleep?

(F)sleep. I'd like to make myself (Csus)believe that planet (Bb)Earth (F)turns (Bb)slowly.

It's hard to say that I'd (F)rather stay (Bb)awake when (C)I'm (Dm)asleep,

'cause (Bb)ev'rything is (F)never as it (Csus)seems when I (Dm)fall (F)asleep.

I'd like to make myself (Csus)believe that planet (Bb)Earth (F)turns (Fmaj7)(Bb)slowly.

It's hard to say that I'd (F)rather stay (Bb)awake when (C)I'm (Dm)asleep,

(Bb)because my dreams are (F)bursting at the (Csus)seams.
