_ _ _ _ _ She was on fire and wild and American She burns it out, probably [G] just because she
can And [D] if I had a dollar for everything I should
have said I'd probably still be busted, I would throw
it all away again _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Lightning bugs light up all across the southern
sky Some guys get it all and they don't even need
to try I watched you roll away but you didn't even
say goodbye Now I hate the night, I'm guessing that's
the reason why And this, _ _ this [A] is my life, _ _ on the 4th [Bm] of
July _ It _ _ _ [G] isn't much, but [A] at least it's mine
I got in my [B] van, ended [D] up in Boston Thought about my friends [Bm] and how easily [G] I'd
lost [D] them I'd do it all again, [Bm] I'd leave everyone [G] exhausted
[D] Some folks get a break, [Bm] me I [D] never got one I thought of you at night when I would drink
too much If you thought [A] about me too, you [Bm] never tried
to [D] get in touch Went back to school and I ran into some guys
I knew who started up this band [Bm] But we couldn't [D] seem to get it through
We got some [Bm] gigs, eventually [D] we lost that too
[A] Did you ever think that maybe if [D] you're not happy it's because of you?
And this, _ _ _ _ this [A] is my _ life, _ on the 4th [Bm] of July _ It _ _ _ [G] isn't much, but [A] at least it's [D] mine

_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] I got a [Bm] job, selling [G] ads for [D] magazines At night when I would play, [Bm] I would think
[G] about her constantly [D] Everything I loved, [Bm] somehow [D] got away from
me and [A] suicide [B] I talked [E] about it openly, [A] and finally quit
[Bm] Or maybe [E] I got fired, I [D] don't know [A] Doesn't matter, [Bm] just as long as [D] it happened
though [D] Added up the fears [Bm] and doubts [E] I've been living
with Songs alight in Boston, [F#m] school and work and
[A] all that shit

_ _ _ _ _ I lost a girl, some time, and a couple friends Small talking parties, I never could stomach
it I'm old enough to say that I remember when
But I don't have the time for your nostalgia or your criticisms
You live and learn, me, well I learned to let go
Parents and bosses and people who don't want you to grow
I think that anything you want to, you can do it
No one's [E] gonna tell me just [F#] who the hell [G] I sang [D] to this
And _ this, this [A] is my life, _ _ on the 4th [Bm] of July _ _ _ _ _ [G] It isn't much, but [A] at least it's [D] mine
I lost a girl, some time, and a couple friends Small talking parties, I never could stomach
