Owl City – Fireflies Acoustic chords

Tabbed by Anya

Capo on 3rd fret

C                G You would not believe your eyes
Am               F  If ten million fireflies
C           G                 Am Lit up the world as I fell asleep
C                    G Cuz they'd fill the open air
Am                    F And leave tear-drops everywhere
       C                 G                Am      F  You'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare

    Am                   G            C         G     Am Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

C                 G 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Am                 F From ten thousand lightning bugs
C                 G               Am    F As they tried to teach me how to dance

C           G            A foxtrot above my head
Am            F A sock hop beneath my bed
  C             G                Am       FA disco ball is just hanging by a  thread

Am           C             G      I'd like to make myself believe 
F             Am    C     G   Am  That planet earth turns slowly
    Am                   G            C         G     Am Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

        F                 C(Please take me away from here)
                 G              Am     FmWhen I'm far too tired to fall asleep

C               G To ten million fireflies
Am                  F I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
  C              G            Am       FI got misty eyes as they said farewell
