This is basically the same as the 2nd tabbers version… I just changed the chord names
1 or 2 other things for those people who do not have a capo and want to play this song

A#-D#-G#--(2x)
A# D#
You would not believe your eyes
G# A# D# C#
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
A# D#
'Cause they'd fill the open air
G#
and leave teardrops everywhere
A# D# G#
you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
Chorus:
G# D# A#
I'd like to make myself believe
G# D# Gm G#
that planet Earth turns slowly
G# D# G# A# Cm
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
G# D# F/D
'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
G# Cm A#
I'd like to make myself believe
G# D# Gm G#
that planet Earth turns slowly
G# D# G# A# Cm
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
G# D# A#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
G#
When i fall asleep
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/o/owl_city/fireflies_crd_ver_5.html ]
[Same chords as verse]
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
G# Cm A#
I'd like to make myself believe
G# D# Gm G#
that planet Earth turns slowly
G# D# G# A# Cm
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
G# D# F/D
'Cause everything is never as it seems
G#
When i fall asleep
G# Cm A#
I'd like to make myself believe
G# D# Gm G#
that planet Earth turns slowly
G# D# G# A# Cm
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
G# D# A#
'Cause everything is never as it seems
G#
When i fall asleep
G# Cm A#
I'd like to make myself believe
G# D# Gm G#
that planet Earth turns slowly
G# D# G# A# Cm
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
G# D# A#
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
