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
May the bridges I have burned light my way
                              C
back home on the fourth of July

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?

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

My 9 to 5 is cutting open old scars
Again and again till I'm stuck in your head
Had my doubts but I let them out
You are the drought
And I'm the holy water you have been without
And all my thoughts of you
They could heat or cool the room
And no, don't tell me you cried
Oh, honey, you don't have to lie

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean any of it
I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa
In between being young and being right
You were my Versailles at night

Chorus

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
