Intro.: G  D   Em    G    C    G    D

G           D    Em          G  
The moon is full my arms are empty
C         G         D
All night long I've pleaded and cried
G          D    Em                     G
You always said the day that you would leave me
C          G        D  G 
Would be a cold day in July
G             D      Em            G
Your bags are packed not a word is spoken
C          G          D
I guess we said everything with good bye
G           D       Em                G             
Time  moves so slow and promises  get broken
C       G        D  G  
On this cold day in July 
F               C                 G 
Sun's coming up coming up down on Main Street
F              C                         G
Children shout as they're running out to play
Em               D
Head in my hands here I am
C               G
Standing in my bare feet
Em           D     G   
Watching you drive away
Em           D     G
Watching you drive away
G             D  Em              G      
You said that we were gonna last forever
C            G          D
You said our love would never die
G             D
It looks like spring and
   Em               G
It feels like sunny weather
C          G        D  G 
But it's a cold day in July
F               C                 G 
Sun's coming up coming up down on Main Street
F              C                         G
Children shout as they're running out to play
Em               D
Head in my hands here I am
C               G
Standing in my bare feet
Em           D     G   
Watching you drive away
Em           D     G
Watching you drive away
G           D     Em          G
The moon is full  my arms are empty
C         G             D   
All night long how I've pleaded and cried
G          D    Em                     G
You always said the day that you would leave me
C          G        D  G 
Would be a cold day in July
Am              G        D  G
Here comes that cold day in July
