Chords for Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers: Sun Studio Sessions "4th of July"

We want to speak to the guy that's sitting out there thinking,
I'm pretty, [A] I got some things to give to the world, but I don't know, I'm not,
[Bm] I'm not a [B] superstar.
That's who we're singing to. _
[G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ Welcome [A] to Sun Studio.
You are here with [Bm] Stephen Kellogg and the [B] Sixers.
The song Fourth of [G] July is super _ [A] personal.
My [Bm] life is like everybody, I think, has been
filled with challenges [C#m] and filled with moments [Bm] and days when you feel _
_ [A#] that you're [B] not living up to your potential.
And [A] _ _ yet, you [E] know, the way I was [D] raised,
_ [A] you know, you [Bm] can blame other people for that.
You can [A#] blame your circumstances or [Bm] you can
[D] strive to rise above it.
[A] And I think [Bm] it's, you know, [Gm] for whatever reason, there's a [D] real tendency
to want to point to, well, it was this and [B] it was that.
But I really, the way I view the world,
you have a [D] choice, especially if you're lucky enough to realize maybe I got this from here,
but it's up to me to go change my life, you know. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _

_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] So I got in my [Bm] van, ended up [G] in Boston, [D] thought about my friends and [Bm] how easily [D] I lost them.
I'd do it all again, I'd [Bm] leave everyone [G] exhausted.
[D] Some folks get a break, me, I never call.
I thought of you, [Bm] nights when [D] I would drink too much.
If you thought about [A] me too, you
[Bm] never [D] tried to get in touch.
Went back to school, [Bm] ran to these guys, I knew, started up a band,
couldn't seem to get it through.
We [A] got some gigs, eventually [G] we lost it.
[D] Everything that
you're [Bm] not happy, it's [D] because of you.
This _ is _ _ [A] my life, _ _ _ on the phone that [B] you lie. _
_ [Bm] _ _ It [G] isn't much,
but at [A] least it's [D] mine.
_ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [A]
I [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] got this job, I [Bm] was selling ads [G] in magazines.
[D] And now when I would
[Bm] think about [G] it constantly, [D] everything [A] I loved, [Bm] some I [G] got away from [D] me, it's [A] suicide.
[Bm] I've talked
[G] about it openly, [D] I [A] finally quit, [Bm] or maybe I got [D] fired, I don't know.
[A] Doesn't matter, [Bm] just as long
as it [G] happened, no.
[D] Added up [A] the fears [Bm] and the doubts [G] I've been living with.
[D] Songs are lying to
_ _ _ _ _ me.
This _ is _ _ [A] my life, _ _ on the phone that [Bm] you _ [B]
lie.
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] It [G] isn't much, but [A] at least it's mine.
[D] My [A] life.
[Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [A] Yeah.
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I lost the girl, [Bm] some time and a couple [D] friends.
Small talking parties,
I never could stomach it.
I'm old enough to say I [G] remember when, [D] but I don't have the time for
nostalgia or your criticisms.
You live and learn and me, [G] I have learned [D] to let go of parents and
bosses and people who don't want you to grow.
I think that anything you want [G] to, you could do.
[D] No one's going to tell me [Bm] just who the hell I should [D] sing to.
This _ _ _ _ [A] is my life, _ _ _ on the phone
that [Bm] you lie.
_ _ _ It [G] isn't much, but [A] at least it's [D] mine.
My _ _ life.
Bitch, this is [A] my life, _ _ on the phone that [Bm] you lie. _
_ _ _ _ [G] It isn't much, but [A] at least it's [D] mine.
My [A] _
[Bm] life.
Na [G]-na-na-na-na [D]-na-na [A]-na-na [Bm]-na.
At [G] least [D] it's [A] mine.
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] Yeah, this [D] is mine.
[A] And nothing and [Bm] no one's ever [G] gonna take [D] this away.
_ [A] _
_ [Bm] Look [G] at the blue [D] prints of your [A] life.
[Bm] Then she stopped [G] thinking and [D] said never so.
[A] _
_ [Bm] _ [G] This is just [D] a journey, [A] journey, [Bm] this is just a [G] journey
[B] Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, [D] nah, nah _
