Song: Firework
By: Katy Perry
[Capo 1]
[intro:] G Am Em C {keyboards}
[verse 1:] {light percussions + bass drum kicks in}
G Am
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
Em C
drifting through the wind
G
wanting to start again?
Am Em
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
C
like a house of cards,
G
one blow from caving in?
Am Em
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
C G
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Am Em
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
C
'Cause there's a spark in you
[pre-chorus:] {staccato strings kick in, build up to chorus}
G Am Em C
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
G Am Em C {let ring}
Just own the night like the 4th of July
[chorus:]
G {keybords kicks in} Am
'Cause baby you're a fire___________________work
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{band kicks in} Am
Baby, you're a fire______________work
Em C
Come on, let your colors burst
G Am
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
Em C
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own
[verse: 2] {light percussions, same as verse 1}
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 your 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 blow
And when it's time, you'll know
[pre-chorus:] {staccato strings kick in, build up to chorus}
G Am Em C
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
G Am Em C
Just own the night like the 4th of July
[chorus:]
G {band kicks in} Am
'Cause baby you're a fire_________________work
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 fire_____________work
Em C
Come on, let your colors burst
G Am
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
Em C
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own
[bridge:]
Em
Boom, boom, boom
Em C
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
C G
It's always been inside of you, you, you
G D D {let ring}
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
[chorus:]
G {keybords kicks in} Am
'Cause baby you're a fire___________________work
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{band kicks in} Am
Baby, you're a fire______________work
Em C
Come on, let your colors burst
G Am
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
Em C
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own
[coda:]
G Am
Boom, boom, boom
Em C
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
G Am
Boom, boom, boom even brighter than the
Em C G
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
