Capo 3
 
Intro: G C F }x2 
 
G                          C 
You would not believe your eyes 
F                     G
If ten million fireflies 
                     C    F 
Lit up the world as i fell asleep 
G                      C 
'Cause they'd fill the open air 
F 
And leave teardrops everywhere 
G              C                  F 
You'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare 
 
Chorus: 
F              C         G 
I'd like to make myself believe 
            F     C     Em   F 
that planet Earth turns slowly 
        F               C            F      G      Am 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 
F                   C          D 
'Cause everything is never as it seems 
 
G                          C 
'Cause id get a thousand hugs 
F                     G
From ten thousand lightning bugs 
                     C    F 
As they tried to teach me how to dance 
G                    C 
А foxtrot above my head 
F
А sockhop beneath my bed 
G              C                  F 
А disco ball is just hanging by a thread 
 
F              Am         G 
I'd like to make myself believe 
            F     C     Em    F

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar
