Capo 2
C G Am F
She was on fire and wild and American
C G Am F
She burns it out probably just because she can
C G Am F
And if I had a dollar for every thing I should've said
C G Am F
I'd prolly still be busted, I would throw it all away again
C G Am F
The lightening bugs light up all across the southern sky
C G Am F
Some guys get it all and they don't even need to try
C G Am F
I watched you roll away but you didn't even say goodbye
C G Am F
And now I hate the night, I'm guessin' that's the reason why
C G Am
And this, this is my life On the 4th of July
F G
It isn't much, but at least it's mine
[C G Am F]
C G Am F
Got in my van, ended up in Boston
C G Am F
Thought about my friends and how easily I lost them
C G Am F
I'd do it all again, I'll leave everyone exhausted
C G Am F
Some folks get a break, me I never got one
C G Am F
I thought of you at night when I would drink too much
C G Am F
If you thought about me too, you'd never tried to get in touch
C G Am F
Went back to school and I ran into some guys I knew
C G Am F
We started up this band but we couldn't seem to get it through
C G Am F
We got some gigs, evetually we lost that too
G
Did you ever think that if you're not happy it's because of you
C G Am
And this, this is my life On the 4th of July
F G
It isn't much, but at least it's mine
[C G Am F]
C G Am F
I got a job selling ads for magazines
C G Am F
At night when I would play, I'd think about her constantly
C G Am F
Everything I loved it somehow got away from me
C G Am F
And suicide, I talked about it openly
C G Am F
I finally quit, or maybe I got fired, I don't know
C G Am F
It doesn't matter just as long as it happened though
C G Am F
Added up the fears and the doubts I've been living with
G
Songs of lightening bugs, school, work, and all that shit
C G Am
And this, this is my life On the 4th of July
F G
It isn't much, but at least it's mine
[C G Am F]
C G Am F
I lost a girl sometime and a couple friends
C G Am F
Small talk at parties I never could stomach it
C G Am F
I'm old enough to say that I remember when
C G Am F
But I dont have the time for your nastalgia or your crisitisms
C G Am F
You live and learn, me, well I learned to let go
C G Am F
Parents and bosses and people who don't want you to grow
C G Am F
I think that anything you want to you can do
G
And no one is going to tell me just who the hell I should sing to
C G Am
And this, this is my life On the 4th of July
F G
It isn't much, but at least it's mine (x2)
