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
Ab
And leave teardrops everywhere
Bb                       Eb                     Ab
You'd think me rude, but I would just stand and stare


[Chorus 1]
Ab          Eb            Bb
I'd like to make myself believe
            Ab    Eb    Gm   Ab
That planet Earth turns slowly
                          Eb           Ab        Bb    Cm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
       Ab            Eb          Bb
'Cause everything is never as it seems


[Verse 2]
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
Bb         Eb
A foxtrot above my head
Ab
A sock hop beneath my bed
   Bb           Eb               Ab
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread


[Chorus 2]
Ab          Eb            Bb
I'd like to make myself believe
            Ab    Eb    Gm   Ab
That planet Earth turns slowly
                          Eb           Ab        Bb    Cm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
       Ab            Eb          Bb
'Cause everything is never as it seems


[Bridge]
Bb            Eb          Ab
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Bb                 Eb          Ab
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Bb               Eb       Ab
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


[Chorus 3]
(Just play a few notes)
Ab          Eb            Bb
I'd like to make myself believe
            Ab    Eb    Gm   Ab
That planet Earth turns slowly
                          Eb           Ab        Bb    Cm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
       Ab            Eb          Bb
'Cause everything is never as it seems


[Chorus 4]
Ab          Eb            Bb
I'd like to make myself believe
            Ab    Eb    Gm   Ab
That planet Earth turns slowly
                          Eb           Ab        Bb    Cm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
       Ab            Eb          Bb
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)


[Chorus 5]
Ab          Eb            Bb
I'd like to make myself believe
            Ab    Eb    Gm   Ab
That planet Earth turns slowly
                          Eb           Ab        Bb    Cm
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
       Ab            Eb          Bb
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)


[Outro]
Ab          Eb            Bb
I try to make myself believe
(When I fall asleep)
Ab          Eb            Bb
I try to make myself believe
(When I fall asleep)
Ab          Eb            Bb
I try to make myself believe
(When I fall asleep)
Ab          Eb            Bb   Eb
I try to make myself believe
