Owl City-Fireflies - sr - 0

 [Piano Intro - No drums - muted arpeggio picking with first finger] 
[A] [D] [G] [G] x3
 
[Verse 1 - Drums in light - keep picking going] 
[A] You would not b [D] elieve your eyes
[G] If ten million fireflies
[A] Lit up the [D] world as I fell a [G] sleep
[A] 'Cause they'd fill the o [D] pen air
[G] And leave teardrops everywhere
[A] You'd think me rude
But I [D] would just stand and [G] stare
 
[Chorus - Just bass drum]
[G] I'd like to [D] make myself be [A] lieve
That planet [G] Earth [D] turns [F#m] slow [G] ly
It's hard to say that I'd [D] rather stay
[G] Awake when [A] I'm a [Bm] sleep
'Cause [G] everything is [D] never as it [E] seems
 
[Verse 2 - Light drums-] 
[A] 'Cause I'd get a [D] thousand hugs
[G] From ten thousand lightning bugs
[A] As they tried to [D] teach me how to [G] dance
[A] A foxtrot a [D] bove my head
[G] A sock hop beneath my bed
[A] disco ball is [D] just hanging by a [G] thread
 
[Chorus - Full drums and strum] 
[G] I'd like to [D] make myself be [A] lieve
That planet [G] Earth [D] turns [F#m] slow [G] ly
It's hard to say that I'd [D] rather stay
[G] Awake when [A] I'm a [Bm] sleep
'Cause [G] everything is [D] never as it [A] seems
When I fall as [D] leep (pause - count 1 2 3 4 from sleep)
 
[Bridge - Light drums] 
[A] Leave my door [D] open just a [G] crack 
(Please take me away from here)
[A] 'Cause I feel like [D] such an insomn [G] iac 
(Please take me away from here)
[A] Why do I [D] tire of counting [G] sheep 
(Please take me away from here)
[A] When I'm far too [D] tired to fall a [G] sleep (pause)
 
[Verse 3 - Light drumas] 
[A] To ten million [D] fireflies
[G] I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
[A] I got misty e [D] yes as they said [G] farewell
[A] But I'll know where [D] several are
[G] If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I [A] saved a few and [D] I keep them in a [G] jar
 
[Chorus - Full drums] 
[G] I'd like to [D] make myself b [A] elieve
That planet [G] Earth [D] turns [F#m] slow [G] ly
It's hard to say that I'd [D] rather stay
[G] Awake when [A] I'm a [Bm] sleep
'Cause [G] everything is [D] never as it [E] seems
When I fall asleep
 
[G] I'd like to [D] make myself b [A] elieve
That planet [G] Earth [D] turns [F#m] slow [G] ly
It's hard to say that I'd [D] rather stay
[G] Awake when [A] I'm a [Bm] sleep
'Cause [G] everything is [D] never as it [A] seems
When I fall a [G] sleep (see below - I'd like)
 
[Outro]
(single Strums)
[G] I'd like to [D] make myself b [A] elieve
That planet [G] Earth [D] turns [F#m] slow [G] ly
It's [G] hard to say that I'd r [D] ather stay
Aw [G] ake when [A] I'm as [Bm] leep
Be [G] cause my dreams are [D] bursting at the [A] seams
