Fireflies by Owl City – Lyrics with Chords
NOTE: Capo on the 3rd Fret Verse: G C You would not believe your eyes F If ten million fireflies G 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 You'd think me rude F But I would just stand and stare Chorus: F Am G I'd like to make myself believe F C Em F That planet Earth turns slowly F C It's hard to say that I'd rather stay F G Am Awake when I'm asleep F C G 'Cause everything is never as it seems Verse: G C 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs F From ten thousand lightning bugs G C F As they tried to teach me how to dance G C A fox trot above my head F A sock hop beneath my bed G C F A disco ball that's 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 It's hard to say that I'd rather stay F G Am Awake when I'm asleep F C G 'Cause everything is never as it seems F When I fall asleep Bridge: 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 Verse: G C To ten million fireflies F I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes G C F I got misty eyes as they said farewell G C But I'll know where several are F If my dreams get real bizarre G C F 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar Chorus X2: F Am G I'd like to make myself believe F C Em F That planet Earth turns slowly F C It's hard to say that I'd rather stay F G Am Awake when I'm asleep F C G 'Cause everything is never as it seems F When I fall asleep Outro: F Am G I'd like to make myself believe F C Em F That planet Earth turns slowly F C It's hard to say that I'd rather stay F G Am Awake when I'm asleep F C G Because my dreams are bursting at the scenes
