'Fireflies' by Owl City - Guitar Tutorial

            Capo on the 3rd fret 
 
Intro: G – C – F (2x) 
 
G                          C 
You would not believe your eyes 
F                            G                     C      F 
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep 
G                      C 
'Cause they'd fill the open air 
F 
and leave teardrops everywhere 
G              C                  F 
you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare 
 
Chorus: 
F              C         G 
I'd like to make myself believe 
            F     C     Em    F 
that planet Earth turns slowly 
        F               C            F      G      Am 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 
F                   C          D 
'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 
 
F              Am         G 
I'd like to make myself believe 
            F     C     Em    F 
that planet Earth turns slowly 
        F               C            F      G      Am 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 
F                   C             G 
'Cause everything is never as it seems 
           F 
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 
 
F              Am         G 
I'd like to make myself believe 
            F     C     Em    F 
that planet Earth turns slowly 
        F               C            F      G      Am 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 
F                   C             D 
'Cause everything is never as it seems 
           F 
When i fall asleep 
 
F              Am         G 
I'd like to make myself believe 
            F     C     Em    F 
that planet Earth turns slowly 
        F               C            F      G      Am 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 
F                   C             G 
'Cause everything is never as it seems 
           F 
When i fall asleep 
 
F              Am         G 
I'd like to make myself believe 
            F     C     Em    F 
that planet Earth turns slowly 
        F               C            F      G      Am 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 
F                   C                 G 
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
