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

Bridge
[C] I wish I’d [D]known how much you [Em]loved me [G]

The [G]torture of small [Am]talk with someone you used to [Em]love
