Verse
Bb Eb
You would not believe your eyes
Abmaj7
If ten million fireflies
Bb Eb Abmaj7
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Bb Eb
Cuz they fill the open air
Abmaj7
And leave teardrops everywhere
Bb Eb Abmaj7
You think me rude, but I would just stand and stare
Abmaj7 Cm7 Bb
I'd like to make myself believe
Abmaj7 Eb Gm Abmaj7
That planet earth turns slo..wly
Eb Abmaj7 Bb Cm7
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Abmaj7 Eb F Gm
Cuz everything is never as it seems
Verse
Cuz I get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sockhop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)

Verse
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cuz 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 to tired to fall asleep
Verse
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
But I know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cuz I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar
