[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
