Capo 3rd fret
D A
She's waiting for me, when I get home from work
G D
Ah but things just ain't the same
A
She turns out the lights, and cries in the dark
G A
She wont answer when I call her name
G A D
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
G A
Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below
D Bm
Hey baby, Its the 4th of July
D Bm
Hey baby, Its the 4th of July
D
Its the 4th of July
D A
She gives me the cheek, but I wanted the lips
G D
And I dont have the strength to go
A
On the lost side of town, in a dark apartment
G A
We gave up tryin so long ago
G A D
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
G A
Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below
D Bm
Hey baby, Its the 4th of July
D Bm
Hey baby, Its the 4th of July
D
Its the 4th of July
[Instrumental]

G A D
Whatever happens, I apologize
G A
Dry your tears baby, walk outside
D Bm
Hey baby, Its the 4th of July
D Bm
Hey baby, Its the 4th of July
D
Its the 4th of July
D Bm
Hey baby, Its the 4th of July
D Bm
Hey baby, Its the 4th of July
D
Its the 4th of July
D Bm
We forgot all about...
