FIREFLIES OWL CITY
Capo 3rd Fret
G C F (x4)
G C
You would not believe your eyes
F G C F
If ten million fireflies 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 F
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
G C F
as they tried to teach me how to dance
G C F
A foxtrot above my head a sockhop beneath my bed
G C F
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
Chorus:
F Am 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 G
'Cause everything is never as it seems
F
When I fall asleep
G C F
Leave my door open just a crack (please take me away from here)
G C F
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (please take me away from here)
G C F
Why do I tire of counting sheep (please take me away from here)
G C F
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
G C F
To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause i hate goodbyes
G C F
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
G C F
But I'll know where several are if my dreams get real bizarre
G C F
'cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
Chorus:
F Am 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
F
When I fall asleep
F Am 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 G
'Cause everything is never as it seems
F
When I fall asleep
Chorus: (play slowly)
F Am 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 G
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
