Tabbed by Sam de Brunner
Tuning: Standard
No capo
This song is just the same 4 chords again and again, though it slows down at one point. I will show the chords
throughout the whole lyrics though for those of you who prefer reading tabs that way.
The chords are D, A, Bm and G
Intro:
D A Bm G (x2)
D A
This maze is getting to my head
Swear I've seen this wall before
Bm
No booby traps, a picket fence
G
Just daisies and a pantry door
D
There's caffeine on the floor
A
Adventure in the air
Bm
Who knew your heart could beat so freakin' fast
G
That you forget to comb your hair?
D
And for the first time
A
The ground here
Bm G
Makes perfect sense
D
And for the last time
A
I'm waiting for
Bm (one strum) G (one strum)
These fireworks to fall down on me
G (regular strumming again)
Fall down on me
D A Bm G
D
Your baby teeth will fall away
A
But your tongue and taste will still complain
Bm
You'll smile knowing someday soon that
G
Things will change, God, I hope they change
D
And I hope someday you find
A
The long awaited peace of mind
Bm G
Either that or something you can hold
D A
'Cause if you were hoping I could save the day
Bm
Shoot me in the leg
G
I swear that you'll feel better
D A
Or if you'd simply rather run away
Bm
I completely understand
G
Fly away and and blow to smithereens like a fire
D
My feet are getting tired
A
And my heart is getting torn, oh,
Bm
And I realize it's too late for me
G
I've already been born
D
And for the first time
A
In a long time
Bm
I can think straight
G
And I'm not sure that I like it
D (single strum)
It's like a bed
A
These sheets are new
Bm
But when they're taken off
G
It's like I'm covering you
D
'Cause you are scared
A
Where monsters lurk
Bm
Wish you could fly away
G
And explode just like a firework
D A
And let's just say for old time's sake
Bm
We'll pull it really fake
G
Smile with our accents
D
But I have to say
A
That this one takes the cake
Bm
Are you calling me a liar?
G
Well, I'll show you, you yellow-belly jerk
(The beat slows down at this point - when you change to the A chord - but the chords remain the same)
D
It'll be like three, two, one
A
I'm gone
Bm
Out to the great unknown
G
For a moment, I'll be free
D
'Til I'll explode
A
'Til I'm like one
Bm
'Til I'm like one
G D
One of them fireworks
A
'Til I'm like one
Bm
'Til I'm like one
G D (one strum)
One of them fireworks
