_ [F#] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] I came from the North, _ _ [A] escaping _ [E] convention, [B] the modern _ invention that [A] won't [B] let [Em] me be.
To the [A] shores of St.
Martin with my [B] fiction [A] _ [E] addiction, _ [F#] to restart the [E] fire, [B] a dreamer's
remedy, _ _ [A] _ _ Independence Day.
And all I [E] remember was a [B] midnight _ rainbow _ that fell [C#m]
[B] from [E] the sky.
[A] As I stand on the beach, I slowly _ [E] surrender [F#] to the child in me who can't say [F#m]
goodbye.
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] The rockets in the air [A] and the people _ [E]

[B] And there in my hand, _ a [C#m] [B] pyro's [E] delight, [A] a _ _ bombardier, a nighttime [E] magician.
_ [F#] I sparked the sky as the rockets fly [A] from view.

[A] It showers us all in _ [E] [A] sulfuric [E] sensation.
_ [F#] The colors shine in a fiery rhyme [A] tonight.
[B] _ _
_ _ [E] The rockets in the air [A] and the people _ [E] everywhere, [C#m] won't you put away [E] your differences [A] for a [B] while?
