Lyrics

Do you ev er feel like a plas tic bag, drift ing through the wind, want ing to start a gain?

Do you ev er feel, feel so pa per thin, af like a house of cards, one blow from cav ing in?

May Do you ev er feel al read y bur ied deep, So six feet un der screams, but (Db)no one seems to hear a thing?

Do you know that there’s still a chance for you?

’Cause there’s a spark in you.

You just got ta ig nite

the light

and let

it shine.

Just own

the night

like the Fourth of Ju ly.

’Cause, ba by, you’re a (Ab)fi

re work.

Come on, show ’em (Fm7)what

you’re worth.

Make ’em go, (Ab)“Ah, ah, ah,” as you shoot a cross the (Fm7)sky y y.

Ba by, you’re a (Ab)fi

re work.

Come on, let your (Fm7)col

ors burst.

Make ’em go, (Ab)“Ah, ah, ah.” You’re gon na leave ’em all in (Fm7)awe, awe, awe.

You don’t have to feel like a wast ed space.

You’re o rig i nal, want can not be re placed.

If you on ly knew what the fu ture holds, af ter a hur ri cane one comes a rain ing bow.

May be you’re rea son why al all the doors are closed.

So you could o pen one that (Db)leads you to the per fect road.

Like a light ning bolt, still your heart will glow; and when it’s time, we know.

You just got ta ig nite

the light

and let

it shine.

Just own

the night

like the Fourth of Ju ly.

’Cause, ba by, you’re a (Ab)fi

re work.

Come on, show ’em (Fm7)what

you’re worth.

Make ’em go, (Ab)“Ah, ah, ah,” as you shoot a cross the (Fm7)sky y y.

Ba by, you’re a (Ab)fi

re work.

Come on, let your (Fm7)col

ors burst.

Make ’em go, (Ab)“Ah, ah, ah.” You’re gon na leave ’em all in (Fm7)awe, awe, awe.

(Fm)Boom, boom, boom, e ven bright er than the (Db)moon, moon, moon.

It’s al ways been in side of (Ab)you, you, you, and now it’s time to let it (Eb)through.

’Cause, ba by, you’re a (Fm7)awe, awe, awe.

Boom, boom, boom, e ven bright er than the (Fm7)moon, moon, moon.

(Ab)Boom, boom, boom, e ven bright er than the (Fm7)moon, moon, moon.

About “Firework

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Firework"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Db. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Firework" by Katy Perry played in?
Firework is arranged in the key of Db on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Firework"?
The arrangement plays at 126 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Firework" easy to play on piano?
This is an advanced arrangement. We recommend breaking it into sections and using the speed control to drill harder passages.
Can I download sheet music for "Firework"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Firework"?

Try "BY THE GRACE OF GOD", "CHAINED TO THE RHYTHM", "DARK HORSE". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Firework" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Db, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 126 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
