Kaboom

F Bb/F

[Verse 1: George Salazar]
F                   Bb/F
I never cared about caring much before
F                         Bb/F                F
I rolled my eyes and even texting was a chore
F          Bb/F
I was your average heartless kid
F Bb/F
                  F                   Bb/F
Then one day Mrs. Werring handed me a book and said
                 F                            Bb/F
"Here, read this book. The book is by some guy who's dead"
F     Bb/F                    F Bb/F
I read it and I'm glad I did
             Am            Bb                G7/B                    C
It was by a person who I never knew, but the words made sense and the message, too
       F             Bb              F
And it made me fired up and made me care
       Am                   Bb
And I wasn't scared, I was not alone
         G7/B                  C
Made me wanna make something of my own
F              Bb                    F
Something wired up that I could share
          C                             Bb
And that person I would never see, just totally affected me
         F
Is that legacy?
      C Bb Bb
I assume
    F Bb/F
Kaboom!
    F Bb/F
Kaboom!


[Verse 2: George Salazar and Joe Iconis]
F                     Bb/F
I never cared about fireworks before
F                                Bb/F
I thought that they were just for babies, nothing more
F           Bb/F                F Bb/F
I was your average fucking kid
F                         Bb/F
But then I started giving things a second look
F                           Bb/F
And realized fireworks were kind of like that book
F        Bb
And I'm really glad I did
                 Am                  Bb
'Cause they're a thing that you hold in your hand
            G7/B               C
And they're dangerous, but you understand
    F           Bb                F
If handled with intelligence and care
        Am            Bb                     G7/B              C
The explosion and the crashing sound can be seen and felt for miles around
    F                Bb            F
It reaches folks who weren't even there
      C
Even though I didn't see the blast
          Bb
I watched glitter in the sky blow past
            F
And that's legacy
    C  Bb Bb
The bloom
   F Bb
Kaboom!
   F Bb
Kaboom!


[Verse 3: George Salazar and Joe Iconis]
F                          Bb/F
I look around and think about the stage I'm on
F                         Bb/F
And whether anyone will notice when I'm gone
F    Bb           F    Bb/F
What do I leave behind?
F                    Bb/F
Which is why we gotta make a spark
F                                 Bb/F
Which makes a flame and then will leave its mark
F    Bb/F              F Bb/F
For someone else to find
          Am              Bb
And that person who lived dangerously
         G7/B           C
Makes me braver than I used to be
    F             Bb             F
And now I'm fired up and how I care
        Am              Bb
And I always squeeze my bloody heart
      G7/B           C
And I let it drip into my art
     F               Bb
And, wow, I'm fired up
           F
I see a flare
         C
And the light that shines on the distant shore
        Bb                           F
Is the light I will be aiming for, forever
   A7sus4 A5
So bright
