[Intro]
C D Em G
Am Am Em Em
[Chorus]
C
It was the fourth of July
D Em G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
Am
That went off too soon
Em
And I miss you in the June gloom too
C
It was the fourth of July
D Em G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
Am
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you never know
Em C
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home on the fourth of July
[Verse 1]
C D
I’ll be as honest as you’ll let me
Em G
I miss your early morning company, if you get me
Am
You are my favorite "what if"
Em
You are my best "I’ll never know", and
C D
I’m staring to forget
Em G Am
Just what summer ever meant to you
Em
What did it ever mean to you?
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
I’m sorry I didn’t mean any of it
Em G
I just got too lonely, lonely, oh-oh
Am
In between being young and being right
Em
You were my Versailles at night
[Chorus]
C
It was the fourth of July
D Em G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
Am
That went off too soon
Em
And I miss you in the June gloom too
C
It was the fourth of July
D Em G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
Am
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you never know
Em C
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home on the fourth of July
[Verse 2]
C D
My nine to five is cutting open old scars
Em G
Again and again till I’m stuck in your head
Am
Had my doubts, but I let them out, you're the drought
Em
And I’m the holy water you have been without
C D
And all my thoughts of you
Em G
They could heat or cool the room
Am
And no, don’t tell me you cried
Em
Honey, you don’t have to lie
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
I’m sorry I didn’t mean any of it
Em G
I just got too lonely, lonely, oh-oh
Am
In between being young and being right
Em
You were my Versailles at night
[Chorus]
C
It was the fourth of July
D Em G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
Am
That went off too soon
Em
And I miss you in the June gloom too
C
It was the fourth of July
D Em G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
Am
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you never know
Em C
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home on the fourth of July
[Bridge]
C D Em G
I wish I’d known how much you loved me
Am Em
I wish I cared enough to know
C D Em
I’m sorry every song’s about you
G Am Em
The torture of small talk with someone you used to love
[Chorus]
C
It was the fourth of July
D Em G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
Am
That went off too soon
Em
And I miss you in the June gloom too
C
It was the fourth of July
D Em G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
Am
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you never know
Em C
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home on the fourth of July
