[Verse 1]
C#
We are names, and we are faces
C#
Not listed in the pages
       E                 F#
You're searching line by line
    C#
The voices in the wire
    C#
The glass under your tires
    E             B
The panic in your eyes


[Pre-Chorus]
                              F#
And when we start to lose control
C#m                           F#
And when we start to lose our minds
       A               B
That's when I close my eyes


[Chorus]
           C#m    E
And feel a sudden urge(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
              B          F#
To watch this whole town burn
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
             C#m        E
Light up the whole damn sky (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
         B
Like the Fourth of July
         F#              C#m
Like the Fourth of July, hey!


[Verse 2]
        C#m
I am as patient as a volcano
        C#m
A butterfly in a landmine field
       C#m
I am a dandelion making guns go silent
         C#m          E               F#
Sticking out of every barrel, cold as steel


[Pre-Chorus 2]
            F#
And in this fight you've started
      C#m
I'm a moving target
        F#
And I'm sick of running
        C#m  B     F#     E
But the pain keeps coming


[Chorus]
       C#m    E
Like a sudden urge(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
              B          F#
To watch this whole town burn
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
             C#m        E
Light up the whole damn sky (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
         B
Like the Fourth of July
         F#
Like the Fourth of July, hey!


[Interlude]
C# E F# 3x

[Bridge]
A             B               F#
Searching for something worth saving from this fire
A        B          F#
Try to envision the glass half-full
A         B         F#
Give me a reason to smother these flames, now
  A         B         C#
Before they begin to grow


[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
I can't stop the sky from falling
C#m
All I hear are voices calling
C#m
Asking, "Have you come to heal us?"
C#m
Touch my shaking hand


[Chorus]
              C#m    E
You'll feel a sudden urge(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
              B          F#
To watch this whole town burn
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
             C#m        E
Light up the whole damn sky (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
         B
Like the Fourth of July
    F#
The Fourth of July


[Outro]
     C#m                    E
From branch to root, we are black inside
B                                 F#
Scorching the earth like it's the Fourth of July
        C#m                  E
If everything you knew was a goddamn lie
          B               F#
Would you up and explode
                          C#m  C#
Like it's the Fourth of July?
