D Em
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Bm
Drifting throught the wind
G
Wanting to start again
D Em
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Bm
Like a house of cards
G
One blow from caving in
D Em
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Bm
Six feet under scream
G
But no one seems to hear a thing
D Em
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you
Bm
Cause there’s a spark in you
G D Em
You just gotta ignite the light
Bm G
And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July

Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
Bm G
You’re gunna leave ‘em fallin’ down-own-own
D Em
You don’t have to feel like a waste of space
Bm G
You’re original, cannot be replaced
D Em
If you only knew what the future holds
Bm G
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
D Em
Maybe you’re reason why all the doors are closed
Bm G
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
D Em
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
Bm G
And when it’s time, you’ll know
G D Em
You just gotta ignite the light
Bm G
And let it shine
