[Intro]
G  Em7

[Verse]
G                         D
She's waiting for me when I get home from work
Cadd9                     G
But things just ain't the same
G                           D
She turns out the light and cries in the dark
Cadd9                                D
And she won't answer when I call her name


[Chorus]
Cadd9                   D           G     G D Cadd9
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Cadd9                         D
The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
G                   Em7
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
G                   Em7
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July


[Verse]
G                               D
She gives me her cheek when I want her lips
Cadd9                            G
And I don't have the strength to go
G                             D
On the lost side of town in a dark apartment
Cadd9                       D
We gave up trying so long ago


[Chorus]
Cadd9                   D           G     G D Cadd9
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Cadd9                         D
The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
G                   Em7
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
G                   Em7
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July


[Bridge]
C                  D        G    G F C
Whatever happened, I apologize
C                           D                                G
So dry your tears and baby, walk outside it's the Fourth of July


[Chorus]
Cadd9                   D           G     G D Cadd9
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Cadd9                         D
The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
G                   Em7
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
G                   Em7
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
G                   Em7
Hey, baby,
G                   Em7
Hey, baby,
G                   Em7
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
G                   Em7
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
