Fourth Of July chords

Capo 2

[C] She was on[G] fire and [Fmaj9]wild and Ameri[F]can
[C] She burns it [G]out proba[Fmaj9]bly just because sh[F]e can
And if I h[C]ad a doll[G]ar for [Fmaj9]every thing I shou[F]ld've said
I'd p[C]rolly still be bus[G]ted, I would [Fmaj9]throw it all aw[F]ay again

The [C]lightening bugs light[G] up all across the [Fmaj9]southern sky [F]
[C]Some guys get it[G] all and the[Fmaj9]y don't even need[F] to try
I [C]watched you [G]roll away but you[Fmaj9] didn't even sa[F]y goodbye
And now [C]I hate the n[G]ight, I'm gu[Fmaj9]essin' that's the reas[F]on why

And this, t[C]his is my life On the 4[G]th of July [Fmaj9]
It isn't much,[F] but at least it's mine

([C] [G] [Fmaj9] [F])

[C] Got in my [G]van, [Fmaj9]ended up in Bost[F]on
[C]Thought about my [G]friends and how[Fmaj9] easily I lost[F] them
I'd[C] do it all ag[G]ain, I'll leave[Fmaj9] everyone exhau[F]sted
[C]Some folks get a [G]break,[Fmaj9] me I never got [F]one

[C] I thought of[G] you at [Fmaj9]night when I would drin[F]k too much
If you th[C]ought about me[G] too, you'd[Fmaj9] never tried to get [F]in touch
[C] Went back to [G]school and I[Fmaj9] ran into some guys[F] I knew
[C]We started up this [G]band but we [Fmaj9]couldn't seem to get[F] it through
[C] We got some[G] gigs, [Fmaj9]evetually we lost[F] that too
Di[G]d you ever think that if you're not happy it's because of you

And this, t[C]his is my life, On the 4[G]th of July [Fmaj9]
It isn't much, but at[F] least it's mine

([C] [G] [Fmaj9] [F])

[C] I got a[G] job [Fmaj9]selling ads for ma[F]gazines
At nigh[C]t when I would[G] play, I'd [Fmaj9]think about her con[F]stantly
[C]Everything I [G]loved it s[Fmaj9]omehow got away [F]from me
And suicide[C] , [G] I t[Fmaj9]alked about it openl[F]y
[C] I finally[G] quit, or [Fmaj9]maybe I got fired[F] , I don't know
[C]It doesn't matt[G]er just as [Fmaj9]long as it happened though [F]
[C]Added up the [G]fears and the [Fmaj9]doubts I've been livi[F]ng with
[C]Songs of lig[G]htening bugs, s[Fmaj9]chool, work, and all [F]that shit

And this, th[C]is is my life On the 4th[G] of July [Fmaj9]
It isn't much, but[F] at least it's mine

([C] [G] [Fmaj9] [F])

[C] I lost a [G]girl some[Fmaj9]time and a cou[F]ple friends
[C] Small talk at [G]parties I neve[Fmaj9]r could stomach it [F]
[C]I'm old enough to [G]say that I[Fmaj9] remember when [F]
But I[C] dont have the [G]time for your n[Fmaj9]astalgia or your cris[F]itisms
[C] You live and [G]learn, me[Fmaj9] , well I learn[F]ed to let go
[C] Parents and [G]bosses and [Fmaj9]people who don't[F] want you to grow
[C]I think that [G]anything you [Fmaj9]want to you [F]can do
[C]And no one is[G] going to tell m[Fmaj9]e just who the he[F]ll I should sing to

And this, [C]this is my life On the 4th[G] of July [Fmaj9]
It isn't much, but at [F]least it's mine (x2)
