[Verse 1]

C#m             A              E
Bottle up and explode over and over
          G#sus G#           A
Keep the troublemaker below
        F#      A                 Esus
Put it away and check out for the day
C#m          A              E
And in for a round of overexposure
    G#sus   G#             A                   F#
The thing mother nature provides to get up and go
B             Cdim           C#m    D#dim  E**
Bottle up and explode seeing stars
    A#dim   A
Surrounding you
    E         F#   G#
Red white and blue


[Verse 2]

C#m             A                 E
You look at him like you've never known him
      G#sus    G#              A
But I know for a fact that you have
                  F#     A
The last time you cried
                      Esus
Who'd you think was inside?
C#m           A                      E
Thinking that you were about to come over
        G#sus     G#          A
But I'm tired now waiting for you
          F#
You never show
B             Cdim               C#m   D#dim  E**
Bottle up and go if you're gonna hide
     A#dim A
It's up to you
    E      F#      G#
I'm coming through

[Outro]

B             Cdim             C#       D#dim  E**
Bottle up and go I can make it outside
A#dim    A         E      F#   G#
I'll get through becoming you
A    E      F#   G#
   Becoming you
A    E      F#
   Becoming you
