[Intro 1]
[G][C][F]
[G][C][F]
[G][C][F]
[G][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[G]You would not belie[C]ve your eyes
[F]If ten million fireflies
[G]Lit up the wor[C]ld as I fell asle[F]ep
[G]'Cause they fill the ope[C]n air
[F]And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd [G]think me rude
but [C]I would just stand a[F]nd stare

[Chorus 1]
[F]I'd like to mak[C]e myself belie[G]ve
that planet [F]earth [C]turns [Em]slow[F]ly
It's [F]hard to say that I'd [C]rather stay a[F]wake
when [G]I'm a[Am]sleep
'Cause [F]everything is [C]never as it [D]seems[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]'Cause I'd get a tho[C]usand hugs
[F]From ten thousand lightning bugs
[G]As they tried to tea[C]ch me how to dan[F]ce
[G]A foxtrot abov[C]e my head
[F]A sock hop beneath my bed
A [G]disco ball is [C]just hanging by a [F]thread

[Chorus 2]
[F]I'd like to mak[Am]e myself belie[G]ve
that planet [F]earth [C]turns [Em]slow[F]ly
It's [F]hard to say that I'd [C]rather stay a[F]wake
when [G]I'm a[Am]sleep
'Cause [F]everything is [C]never as it [G]seems
(when I [Am]fall a[F]sleep)

[Verse 3]
[G]Leave my door ope[C]n just a cra[F]ck
(Please take me away from [G]here)
'Cause I feel like [C]such an insomni[F]ac
(Please take me away from [G]here)
Why do I [C]tire of counting [F]sheep?
(Please take me away from [G]here)
When I'm far too [C]tired to fall a[F]sleep

[Verse 4]
[G]To ten million fir[C]eflies
[F]I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
[G]I got misty eye[C]s as they said far[F]ewell
(they said farewell)
[G]But I'll know where sev[C]eral are
[F]If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause [G]I saved a few and I[C] keep them in a ja[F]r

[Chorus 3]
[F]I'd like to mak[Am]e myself belie[G]ve
that planet [F]earth [C]turns [Em]slow[F]ly
It's [F]hard to say that I'd [C]rather stay a[F]wake
when [G]I'm a[Am]sleep
'Cause [F]everything is [C]never as it [D]seems
(when I [C]fall asleep)

[Chorus 4]
[F]I'd like to mak[Am]e myself belie[G]ve
that planet [F]earth [C]turns [Em]slow[F]ly
It's [F]hard to say that I'd [C]rather stay a[F]wake
when [G]I'm a[Am]sleep
'Cause [F]everything is [C]never as it [G]seems
(when I [Am]fall asleep)

[Outro 1]
[F]I'd like to mak[Am]e myself belie[G]ve
that planet [F]earth [C]turns [Em]slow[F]ly
It's [F]hard to say that I'd [C]rather stay a[F]wake
when [G]I'm a[Am]sleep
Be[F]cause my dreams are [C]bursting
at the [G]seams
