Intro: Bb Eb Ab 4x

Bb Eb
You would not believe your eyes
Ab
If ten million fireflies
Bb Eb Ab
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

Bb Eb
'Cause they'd fill the open air

And leave teardrops everywhere

You'd think me rude
Ab
But I would just stand and stare

Ab Cm Bb
I'd like to make myself believe
Ab Eb Gm Ab
That planet Earth turns slowly
Ab Eb
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Ab Bb Cm
Awake when I'm asleep
Ab Eb F Eb
'Cause everything is never as it seems

Bb Eb
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Ab
From ten thousand lightning bugs
Bb Eb Ab
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A fox trot above my head
Ab
A sock hop beneath my bed
Bb Eb Ab
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

When I fall asleep

Bb Eb Ab
Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep (Please take me away from here)
Bb Eb Ab
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
Ab
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

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