Verse
Bb            Eb                Ab 
You would not believe your eyes  

                         Bb 
If ten million fireflies  

           Eb              Ab 
Lit up the world as I fell asleep 

Bb                   Eb 
'cause they fill the open air 

Ab 
And leave teardrops everywhere 

      Bb                Eb                 Ab 
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare 


Chorus
Ab             Eb                  Bbsus4      Ab    Eb           Ab 
  I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly  

     Ab                   Eb          Ab         Bb  Cm 
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 

       Ab            Eb          F     F7 
'cause everything is never as it seems  


Verse
Bb               Eb            Ab 
'cause I'd get a thousand hugs  


From ten thousand lightning bugs 

Bb               Eb              Ab 
As they tried to teach me how to dance 

Bb        Eb            Ab 
A foxtrot above my head  


A sock hop beneath my bed 

  Bb            Eb                       Ab 
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread  


Chorus
            Cm          Bbsus4              Ab    Eb           Ab 
I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly  

     Ab                   Eb          Ab         Bb  Cm7 
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 

       Ab            Eb          Bbsus4 Bb Ab 
'cause everything is never as it seems     


Verse
Bb            Eb          Ab 
Leave my door open just a crack 

                    Bb 
Please take me away from here 


'cause I feel like such an insomniac 

       Ab                   Bb 
Please   take me away from   here 

         Eb               Ab 
Why do I tire of counting sheep 

                    Bb 
Please take me away from here 

                 Eb 
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep 

Bb     Bb7     Eb        Ab 
To ten million fireflies  


I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes 

Bb                            Ab 
I got misty eyes as they said farewell 

Bb 
But I'll know where several are 

Ab 
If my dreams get real bizarre 

       Bb                Eb               Ab 
'cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar 


Chorus
Ab             Cm7         Bbsus4              Ab    Eb           Ab 
  I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly  

     Ab                   Eb          Ab         Bb  Cm7 
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 

       Ab            Eb          F     Ab 
'cause everything is never as it seems  

                        Bbsus4  Bb             Ab    Eb           Ab 
I'd like to make myself believe   that planet Earth turns slowly  

     Ab                   Eb          Ab         Bb  Cm 
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 

       Ab            Eb          Bbsus4
