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)
