Threes And Nines - Fireworks Chords

 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
