exploding like a firework, aw yeah

Bridge: 
  
                 C                             Am  
So should I take everything, all the temporary medicines? 
                   F 
Should I take your reds, your blues, and your cocaine? 
              G 
Should I take something to try on the weekend? 
              C                          Am 
Should I take anything...or did you mean everything? 
       F 
When I hit the wall, wrecked from it all 
        G 
You put flowers down on the cold ground  



OUTRO: 

             C 
and cry me a river 
                  Am 
and assure me I'm crazy 
                       F 
while you question the answers 
                        G 
And then we lean on our best friends 
                      C 
Until you find better weather 
               Am 
And you take a vacation 
                       F 
I heard you got all my letters, 
                    G 
I signed "the great depression" 
                Am 
Baby rollin and tumblin.
