VERSE 1
You remind me of a firework, boy
You touch the ceiling, you touch the floor
You sparkle and burn but you take your time
And I bet I could carry you across state lines
CHORUS
E Bm C#m A Bm F#m
E Bm C#m A Bm F#m
I'd tell you why, but I don't know
It's simple and so complicated
I could walk all day on the railroad track
E Bm C#m A Bm E
But there's much more to it than that
VERSE 2
You know all of my secret ideas
The ones I'm giving up on and the ones I'll keep
And everybody sees a funny look in our eyes
'Cause we know that we already won the sweepstakes prize
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I ask you if you ever think that maybe
It's what's inside of us that drives us crazy
Fingers feeling underneath your skin
There's blood and bones and some rivers to fall in
CHORUS
VERSE 4
I'm so lucky because I asked you once
"What are you doing? Do you wanna come up
For a cup of tea? Come visit with me
We'll play guitars and I'll give you my number"
CHORUS
CHORUS
End with the verse thingy however many times.
-CHORDS!!!!-
First of all, the movement of your fingers
for this song is really easy. In the verses you
use the regular(open) chords E and A.
Define E and A:
E A
e|--0---0--|
B|--0---2--|
G|--1---2--|
D|--2---2--|
A|--2---0--|
E|--0---0--|
But for the verses, the chords are the
barre chords except you don't play all of the chord
so I will define those and put an "x" on the notes
not to play. Use these only for the
chorus. It is a really simple patern.
Define E, Bm, C#m, A, and F#m
E Bm C#m A F#m

drums and distortion)
