IMPORTANT!!!!! This song only sounds good when you sing out loud with it.  Without out it it only sounds like random chords are being played.

Each chord is DDUUDU

Here it is.
Intro: G G Am Am Em Em C C

Verse 1:

G G Am Am
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
Em Em C C
drifting through the wind
G G
wanting to start again?
Am Am
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Em Em
like a house of cards,
C C G G
one blow from caving in?
Am Am
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Em Em C C
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
G G Am Am
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Em Em C C
'Cause there's a spark in you


Pre-chorus:
G G Am Am Em Em C C
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
G G Am Am Em Em C C
Just own the night like the 4th of July


Chorus:
G G Am Am
'Cause baby you're a firework
Em Em C C
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
G G Am Am
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
Em Em C C
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
G G Am Am
Baby, you're a firework
Em Em C C
Come on, let your colors burst
G G Am Am
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
Em Em C C
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own


Verse 2: (same as verse 1)

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know


Pre-chorus


Chorus


Bridge:
G G Am Am
Boom, boom, boom
Em Em C C
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
G G Am Am
It's always been inside of you, you, you
Em Em C C
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough


Chorus


G G Am Am
Boom, boom, boom
Em Em C C
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
G G Am Am
Boom, boom, boom
Em Em C C
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Change the Bridge (boom boom part) to Em C, G, D. I'll aprove but make sure you do that. Plus to make it sound in the correct key, capo on first fret.

About this song: Firework

Perry told Billboard that the inspiration for the song came from an unlikely source. "My boyfriend showed me a paragraph out of Jack Kerouac's book On The Road, about people that are buzzing and fizzing and full of life and never say a commonplace thing. They shoot across the sky like a firework and make people go, 'Ahhh.' I guess that making people go 'ahhh' is kind of like my motto." ( Firework Songfacts).
