The version I use to play without capo and the strumming patterns I find fit quite nicely to the flow of the song (but I vary these as well). Chord progressions based on V1 on here, but without capo as he plays it sort of in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN3bjaBjlOs). Verse 3 I play sort of a simple finger variation on Bb base, look at the chords and you will see what I mean. I hope you enjoy playing.Was this info helpful?

[Verse 1]
 
           Gm                 Csus2
Well I saw fireworks from the freeway.
    F                           Bbsus2
And behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
                Gm                   Csus2
'Cause you were born on the fourth of July freedom ring
    F                          (Bbsus2)
Now something on the surface it stings
       Gm
I said something on the surface
        Csus2
Well it kind of makes me nervous
    F
Who says that you deserve this?
         Bbsus2
And what kind of god would serve this?
        Gm             Csus2
We will cure this dirty old disease
        F
Well if you've got the poison I've got the remedy
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
    Gm             Csus2                F         Bbsus2
The remedy is the experience, This is a dangerous liaison
         Gm                   Csus2
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
          F                  Bbsus2
This is a strange enough new play on words
          Gm                          Csus2
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
    F                            Bbsus2
The rest of your nights with the light on
             Gm                   Csus2
So shine the light on all of your friends
        F
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
Bb  Ebsus2   Fsus2                  Gm*     Dm   Ebsus2   Fsus2
I                  I won't worry my life away.
Bb  Ebsus2   Fsus2                  Gm*     Dm   Ebsus2   Fsus2
I                  I won't worry my life away.
 
Gm   Ebsus2   Bb   Fsus2   Dm   Ebsus2   Bb   Fsus2
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
             Gm                     Csus2
Well I heard two men talking on the radio
     F                  Bbsus2
In a cross fire kind of reality show
  Gm                            Csus2
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
          F
They were counting down the ways to stab
    Bbsus2                  Gm
The brother in the be right back after this
       Csus2                    F
The unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh
                Bbsus2               Gm
Death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophe
Csus2                      F
Dance with me, because if you've got the poison,
             (Bbsus2)
I've got the remedy
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
    Gm              Csus2               F         Bbsus2
The remedy is the experience. This is a dangerous liaison
          Gm                 Csus2
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
          F                  Bbsus2
This is a strange enough new play on words
          Gm                          Csus2
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
    F                            Bbsus2
The rest of your nights with the light on
             Gm                   Csus2
So shine the light on all of your friends
        F
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.
 
 
[Chorus 2]

I            I won't worry my life away.
Bb  Ebsus2   Fsus2               Gm*  Dm  Ebsus2  Fsus2
I            I won't worry my life away.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Gm                      Ebsus2                   Bb
    When I fall in love         I take my time
                   Fsus2                        Gm
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
                     Ebsus2                        Bb
You can turn off the sun       but I'm still gonna shine
                  Fsus2
and I'll tell you why
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
 
            Bb               Ebsus2/Bb
Because the remedy is the experience.
          Ab5/Bb       Bb7

When it all amounts to nothing in the end.
