[CHORUS]
A#A#
It was the fourth of July
C majorC D5D5 F5F5
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
G5G5
That went off too soon
D5D5
And I miss you in the June gloom too
A#A#
It was the fourth of July
C majorC D5D5 F5F5
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you never know
D5D5 F5F5
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home on the fourth of July
[VERSE 1]
A#A# C majorC
I’ll be as honest as you’ll let me
D5D5 F5F5
I miss your early morning company, if you get me
G5G5
You are my favorite "what if"
D5D5
You are my best "I’ll never know", and
A#A# C majorC
I’m starting to forget
D5D5 F5F5 G5G5
Just what summer ever meant to you
D5D5
What did it ever mean to you?
[PRE-CHORUS]
A#A# C majorC
I’m sorry I didn’t mean any of it
D5D5 F5F5
I just got too lonely, lonely, oh-oh
G5G5
In between being young and being right
D5D5
You were my Versailles at night
[CHORUS]

[VERSE 2]
A#A# C majorC
My nine to five is cutting open old scars
D5D5 F5F5
Again and again till I’m stuck in your head
G5G5
Had my doubts, but I let them out, you're the drought
D5D5
And I’m the holy water you have been without
A#A# C majorC
And all my thoughts of you
D5D5 F5F5
They could heat or cool the room
G5G5
And no, don’t tell me you cried
D5D5
Honey, you don’t have to lie
[PRE-CHORUS]
A#A# C majorC
I’m sorry I didn’t mean any of it

A#A# C majorC D5D5 F5F5
I wish I’d known how much you loved me
G5G5 D5D5
I wish I cared enough to know
A#A# C majorC D5D5
I’m sorry every song’s about you
F5F5 G5G5 D5D5
The torture of small talk with someone you used to love
