Fireflies Tab

by Owl City


Fixed some errors in first tabber's version. There's a couple quick transitions at the 
of verses and choruses that I left out. Let me know if there's any problems.

Capo on the 3rd fret

G-C-F--(2x)

                          
You would not believe your eyes
                                                       
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
                      
'Cause they'd fill the open air

and leave teardrops everywhere
                                
you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare


Chorus:
                       
I'd like to make myself believe
                          
that planet Earth turns slowly
                                               
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
                             
'Cause everything is never as it seems


(Same chords as verse)
'Cause id get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread

                       
I'd like to make myself believe
                          
that planet Earth turns slowly
                                               
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
                                
'Cause everything is never as it seems
           
When i fall asleep

G-C-F--
leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
'Cause 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 too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
but ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
'cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar


                       
I'd like to make myself believe
                          
that planet Earth turns slowly
                                               
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
                                
'Cause everything is never as it seems
           
When i fall asleep

                       
I'd like to make myself believe
                          
that planet Earth turns slowly
                                               
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
                                
'Cause everything is never as it seems
           
When i fall asleep

                       
I'd like to make myself believe
                          
that planet Earth turns slowly
                                               
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
                                    
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
