There is a tab for the verse, but either way you can either do the tab or play the chords.
There is also a tab for the bridge, but once again. Either way, you can do tab or chords.

[INTRO]
A# C D5 F5
G5 F5 D5 D5
[CHORUS]
A#
It was the fourth of July
C D5 F5
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
G5
That went off too soon
D5
And I miss you in the June gloom too
A#
It was the fourth of July
C D5 F5
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
G5
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you never know
D5 F5
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home on the fourth of July
[VERSE 1]
A# C
I’ll be as honest as you’ll let me
D5 F5
I miss your early morning company, if you get me
G5
You are my favorite "what if"
D5
You are my best "I’ll never know", and
A# C
I’m starting to forget
D5 F5 G5
Just what summer ever meant to you
D5
What did it ever mean to you?
[PRE-CHORUS]
A# C
I’m sorry I didn’t mean any of it
D5 F5
I just got too lonely, lonely, oh-oh
G5
In between being young and being right
D5
You were my Versailles at night
[CHORUS]
A#
It was the fourth of July
C D5 F5
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
G5
That went off too soon
D5
And I miss you in the June gloom too
A#
It was the fourth of July
C D5 F5
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
G5
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you never know
D5 F5
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home on the fourth of July
[VERSE 2]
A# C
My nine to five is cutting open old scars
D5 F5
Again and again till I’m stuck in your head
G5
Had my doubts, but I let them out, you're the drought
D5
And I’m the holy water you have been without
A# C
And all my thoughts of you
D5 F5
They could heat or cool the room
G5
And no, don’t tell me you cried
D5
Honey, you don’t have to lie
[PRE-CHORUS]
A# C
I’m sorry I didn’t mean any of it
D5 F5
I just got too lonely, lonely, oh-oh
G5
In between being young and being right
D5
You were my Versailles at night
[CHORUS]
A#
It was the fourth of July
C D5 F5
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

[BRIDGE]
A# C D5 F5
I wish I’d known how much you loved me
G5 D5
I wish I cared enough to know
A# C D5
I’m sorry every song’s about you
F5 G5 D5
The torture of small talk with someone you used to love
[CHORUS]
A#
It was the fourth of July
C D5 F5
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
G5
That went off too soon
D5
And I miss you in the June gloom too
