Kaboom

F Bb/F

[Verse 1: George Salazar]
F                   Bb/F
I never cared about caring much 
before
F                         Bb/F   
I rolled my eyes and even texting
             F
 was a chore
F          Bb/F
I was your average heartless kid
F Bb/F
                  F                
Then one day Mrs. Werring handed me
   Bb/F
 a book and said
                 F                 
"Here, read this book. The book is 
           Bb/F
by some guy who's dead"
F     Bb/F                    F Bb/F
I read it and I'm glad I did
             Am            Bb     
It was by a person who I never 
           G7/B                    
knew, but the words made sense and 
C
the message, too
       F             Bb           
And it made me fired up and made 
   F
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            
Something wired up that I could 
        F
share
          C                        
And that person I would never see, 
     Bb
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                                
I thought that they were just for
Bb/F
 babies, nothing more
F           Bb/F                F
I was your average fucking kid
 Bb/F

F                         Bb/F
But then I started giving things a 
second look
F                           Bb/F
And realized fireworks were kind of 
like that book
Continues after the ad
F        Bb
And I'm really glad I did
                 Am                
'Cause they're a thing that you 
  Bb
hold in your hand
            G7/B              
And they're dangerous, but you 
 C
understand
    F           Bb             
If handled with intelligence and 
   F
care
        Am            Bb          
The explosion and the crashing 
           G7/B              C
sound can be seen and felt for miles
 around
    F                Bb         
It reaches folks who weren't even 
   F
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                                 
Which makes a flame and then will 
Bb/F
leave its mark
F    Bb/F              F Bb/F
For someone else to find
          Am             
And that person who lived 
 Bb
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                         
Is the light I will be aiming for, 
  F
forever

So bright
