[Verse]

G                F   
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, 
Em                        
drifting through the wind 
Cadd9                    
wanting to start again? 
G                F                 
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin 
Em                      
like a house of cards,
Cadd9                       
one blow from caving in? 
G                F                  
Do you ever feel already buried deep? 
Em                        Cadd9                            
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing 
G                        F                     
Do you know that there's still a chance for you 
Em                             
'Cause there's a spark in you 
Cadd9

Just own the night like the 4th of July 


[Chorus]

                      G    Am
'Cause baby you're a firework
                   Em           C
Come on, show 'em what you're worth 
             G          Am
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" 
                        Em    C
As you shoot across the sky-y-y 
               G    Am
Baby, you're a firework 
                   Em     C
Come on, let your colors burst 
             G          Am
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" 
                        Em              C
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

It's always been inside of you, you, you 
                            D
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough 


[Chorus]

And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over

             G                 D                     Em   C
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead
             G                 D                     Em   C
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Bitter-sweet this would taste
