    No ones done it so here ya go -------
    You would not believe your eyes
    If ten million fireflies
    Lit up the world as I fell asleep
    'Cause they fill the open air
    And leave teardrops everywhere
    You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it 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 sock hop beneath my bed
    A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
    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 (they said farewell)
    But I'll know where several are
    If my dreams get real bizarre
    'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar)
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

    Absolutely incredible arrangement! Usually you can tell from your songs how difficult a tab would be, but I am truly stumped on this one. You play it with so much ease that I'm not sure its of epic difficulty or moderate difficulty and learn-able with practice. I can't say but hell I want to try these tabs out so bad! Hope you can whip em up soon enough. Love this!
