Regular tuning and no capo.
E-A-D--(2x)
E A
You would not believe your eyes
D E A D
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
E A
'Cause they'd fill the open air
D
and leave teardrops everywhere
E A D
you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
Chorus:
D A E
I'd like to make myself believe
D A C#m D
that planet Earth turns slowly
D A D E F#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
D A B
'Cause everything is never as it seems
~Same chords as verse~
'Cause id get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
D F#m E
I'd like to make myself believe
D A C#m D
that planet Earth turns slowly
D A D E F#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
D A E
'Cause everything is never as it seems
D
When i fall asleep

E-A-D--
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 ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
'cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar
D F#m E
I'd like to make myself believe
D A C#m D
that planet Earth turns slowly
D A D E F#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
D A B
'Cause everything is never as it seems
D
When i fall asleep
D F#m E
I'd like to make myself believe
D A C#m D
that planet Earth turns slowly
D A D E F#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
D A E
'Cause everything is never as it seems
D
When i fall asleep
D F#m E
I'd like to make myself believe
D A C#m D
that planet Earth turns slowly
D A D E F#m
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
D A E
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
