[Verse 1]
           G                  C
Well I saw fireworks from the freeway
    F                    Bb
and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
               G                      C
Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
     F                             Bb
Well something on the surface it stings
      G                                 C
I say something on the surface Well it kind of makes me nervous
    F                                   Bb
who says that you deserve this and what kind of god would serve this?
         G               C
We will cure this dirty old disease
[Pre-Chorus]
F-pause-
Well if you gots the poison I gots the remedy
    G             C
the remedy is the experience
           F          Bb
This is a dangerous liaison
           G                  C
I says the comedy is that its serious.
           F                  Bb
This is a strange enough new play on words
           G                          C
I says the tragedy is how youre gonna spend
F                                 Bb
the rest of your nights with the light on
             G                    C
So shine the light on all of your friends
        F-pause-
Well it all amounts to nothing in the end.
[Chorus]
G,Bb,F                G    Bb,Eb,F
I----- I wont worry my life away.
G,Bb,F                G    Bb,Eb,F
I----- I wont worry my life away.

[Verse 2]
             G                      C
Well I heard two men talking on the radio
     F                       Bb
in a cross fire kind of new reality show
      G                         C
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
               F                                  Bb
Well they were counting down the ways to stab the brother
                G                   C
in the be right back after this the unavoidable kiss,
          F                            Bb
where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his
     G       C
catastrophy dance with me,
[Pre-Chorus]
F-pause-
cause if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy
     G             C
the remedy is the experience
           F          Bb
This is a dangerous liaison
           G                  C
I says the comedy is that its serious.
           F                  Bb
This is a strange enough new play on words

I says the tragedy is how youre gonna spend
     F                            Bb
the rest of your nights with the light on
             G                    C
So shine the light on all of your friends
        F-pause-
Well it all amounts to nothing in the end.

G,Bb,F                G    Bb,Eb,F
I----- I wont worry my life away.
[Bridge]
G               Eb
When I fall in love
          Bb
I take my time
                    F                           G
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
                      Eb
You can turn off the sun
                     Bb
but I'm still gonna shine
                  F
and I'll tell you why
[Pre-Chorus]
F-pause-
cause if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy
     G             C
the remedy is the experience
           F          Bb
This is a dangerous liaison
           G                  C
