Intro: G Em
GDDsusC
She's waiting for me when I get home from work
CGGsus4
But things just ain't the same
GDDsusC
She turns out the light and cries in the dark
CD
Won't answer when I call her name
(chorus)
CDGC
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
CDDsus4
The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
GEm
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
GEm
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
(same as first verse)
She gives me her cheek when I want her lips
And I don't have the strength to go
On the lost side of town in a dark apartment
We gave up trying so long ago
(repeat chorus)
CDC
Whatever happened, I apologize
CD
So dry your tears and baby, walk outside
DG
It's the Fourth of July
(repeat chorus)
