[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
She turns out the light
    D
and cries in the dark
Cadd9
And she won't answer when
           D
I call her name

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

She gives me her cheek when I want

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

a cigarette alone
