The basic chords in this Acoustic Remix of Fireflies by Owl City Are F C Am D G
FYou would not Cbelieve your eyes
                      G     Amx2
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
Repeat through every verse
[Chorus:]
FI'd like to makCe myself believeG  
That planet FEarth tCurns sGlowlyAm  
FIt's hard to say Cthat I'd ratheGr stay awAmake when I'm asleep
F'Cause everything is Cnever as iDt seems
'Cause I'd 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
[Repeat Chorus]
