Owl City – Fireflies


This video is requested from GuitarTutee.
Standard Tuning:
Capo on the 3rd fret

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

‘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…

  1. UHHH what is the strumming pattern ? DDU DDU DDUUUU???

  2. did you make the loops or get them somewhere?

  3. i guess u din’t have 2 ask 4 d strumming pattern…..the word seems is misspelled

  4. freakin amazing. Im gonna use ur this song for my grade 11 guitar playing exam and ur way of playing is cool, interesting and not too complicated. thanks for makin this vid.

  5. I think all of your covers are slightly wrong..
    try to watch other videos and see your wrongs, because i cant play the song by the tabs you post its very hard to play..
    >_<

  6. Yeah I agree with you..
    others are right others are wrong…

  7. This is to hard to play i couldn’t understand the pattern what to strum and stuff.

  8. F chord? wud that be 2nd fret on 4th string 3rd fret on 3rd string C and G?

  9. I dont get string pattern either :I

  10. What song are you listening to? The chords are ALL wrong!!! Try Bb, Eb Ab for the verses and Ab Eb Bb/ Ab Eb Gm Ab/ Ab, Eb Ab Bb Cm/ Ab Eb F for the chorus. The video is right on….the guitar player transposed the correct chords and used a capo…but whoever wrote the words and chords above royally messed up.

  11. wow great guyz!dude that was easy!
