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

   G#        A#m        Fm     C#
Ignite, the light, and let it shine
     G#       A#m           Fm        C#
Just own the night like the 4th of July

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

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

Ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

Chorus

Fm
Boom, boom, boom
                       C#
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
                           G#
It's always been inside of you, you, you
                              D#
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough

Chorus

G#               A#m
Boom, boom, boom
                       Fm              C#
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
G#              A#m
Boom, boom, boom
                        Fm             C#
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
