[Eb] I would not believe your [Ab] eyes if ten million [Cm]
[Bb] fireflies lit [Eb] up the world as I fell [Ab] asleep.
[Bb] Cause they'd [Ebm] fill the open air [Ab] and leave teardrops everywhere.
[Bb] You'd think me rude [Eb] but I would just [Ab] stand and stare.
[Ab]
I'd like [Eb] to make myself believe that [Ab] planet Earth [Eb] turned [Gm] [Ab] slowly.
It's hard to say [Eb] that I'd rather stay [Ab] [Eb] awake when [Cm] I'm asleep.
[Ab] Cause everything [Eb] is never as [F] it [Gm] seems.
[Ebm] Cause I get a thousand [Ab] hugs from ten [Eb] thousand lightning bugs.
They try [Bb] to teach [Eb] me how to dance.
A fox trot above my [Ab] head.
A sock [Eb] hop beneath my bed.
An esko ball is just hanging by a thread.
[Ab] I'd like [Cm] to make myself [Eb] believe that [Ab] planet [Eb] Earth turned [Ab] slowly.
It's hard to say that [Eb] I'd rather stay [Ab] awake [Eb] when [Cm] I'm asleep.
[Ab] Cause everything [Eb] is never as [Bb] it seems.
[Cm] And I'm bored.
[Ab] [Bb] Leave my [Eb] door open just [Ab] to crack.
[Eb] [Bb] Cause I feel like such [Eb] an [Ab] insomniac.
[Cm] [Eb] Why do I tire of [Ab] counting sheep?
[Eb] [Bb] When I'm far [Eb] too tired to fall [Ab] asleep.
[Bb] [Eb] Ten million [Ab] fireflies.
I'm weird cause I hate [Eb] goodbyes.
I got misty eyes as they said [Ab] farewell.
They try to outdo me.
[Bb] But I'll know [Eb] where several are.
[Ab] If my dreams get real bizarre.
[Bb] Cause I [Eb] say dip you and I keep them in [Ab] a jar.
I'd like [Cm] to make myself [Eb] believe that [Ab] planet Earth [Eb]
turned [Ab] slowly.
