Tablature Owl City – Fireflies

Intro :
G  C  F  x2

Couplet 1 :
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
Cuz they fill the open air
F
And leave teardrops everywhere
G                      C                      F
You think me rude, but I would just stand and stare

Refrain :
F           C             G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    F             C           G
Cuz everything is never as it seems

Couplet 2 :
G           C
Cuz I get a thousand hugs
F
From ten thousand lightning bugs
G              C               F
As they try to teach me how to dance
G          C
A foxtrot above my head
F
A sockhop beneath my bed
  G             C                 F
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread) 

Refrain :
F           C             G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    F             C           G
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Couplet 3 :
G             C           F
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
G               C              F
Cuz 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 to tired to fall asleep 

Couplet 4 :
G              C
To ten million fireflies
F
I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes
G           C                     F
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
G                C
But I know where several are
F
If my dreams get real bizarre
G                     C               F
Cuz I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar

Refrain :
F           C             G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

F           C             G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am

  F                   C               G
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
