Capo 3:
 
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
’Cause they’d fill the open air
and leave teardrops everywhere
you’d think me rude but I’d just stand and stare
 
 
Chorus:
I’d like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
’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
 
I’d like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
’Cause everything is never as it seems
 
 
When i fall asleep 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
 
Chorus (x2)
I’d like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
’Cause everything is never as it seems
