Fireflies Tab

by Owl City


This is basically the same as the 2nd tabbers version… I just changed the chord names 
1 or 2 other things for those people who do not have a capo and want to play this song

[ = 	5]

A#-D#-G#--(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

[Same chords as verse]

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...
