This song is from the album American Beauty / American Psycho(2015).
That was one of the best drum rolls that I’ve heard so far. I’m talking about the one at the end of the prechorus. The vocals are really powerful, and the heavy rhythm makes it even more energetic. The background instruments lift the energy of the song and takes it to another level. What are your favorite drum rolls? Comment below.

[CHORUS]
                          C
It was the fourth of July
                        D              Em        G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
       Am
That went off too soon
                     Em
And I miss you in the June gloom too
Em                     C
It was the fourth of July
                        D        Em                 G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
                 Am
I said I’d never miss you
Am
But I guess you’ll never know
              Em
Where the bridges I have burned never really led home
                   Em
On the fourth of July

C
I’ll be as honest as you let me
D           Em                  G
I miss your early morning company
G
If you get me
Am
You are my favorite "what if"
            Em
You are my best "I’ll never know"

C                    D
I’m starting to forget
Em                 G            Am
Just what summer ever meant to you
Am                         Em
What did it ever mean to you?

[PRE-CHORUS]
C                        D
Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any of it
Em             G
I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa
Am
In between being young and being right
         Em
You were my Versailles at night

[CHORUS]
                          C
It was the fourth of July
                        D              Em        G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
       Am
That went off too soon
                     Em
And I miss you when the ? too
Em                     C
It was the fourth of July
                        D        Em                 G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
                 Am
I said I’d never miss you
Am
But I guess you’ll never know
              Em
Where the bridges I have burned never really led home
                   Em
On the fourth of July

[VERSE]
C                               D
My 9 to 5 is cutting open old scars
Em                       G
Again and again 'til I’m stuck in your head
Am
Head my downward spiral
Am
Never mind I'll be drowned
    Em
And I’m the holy water you have in the ??

C                       D
And all my thoughts of you
Em                   G
They could be all through the room
    Am
And now don’t tell me you’re crying
             Em
Oh, honey, you don’t have to lie

[PRE-CHORUS]
C                        D
Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any of it
Em             G
I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa
Am
In between being young and being right
         Em
You were my Versailles at night

[CHORUS]
                          C
It was the fourth of July
                        D              Em        G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
       Am
That went off too soon
                     Em
And I miss you when the ? too
Em                     C
It was the fourth of July
                        D        Em                 G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
                 Am
I said I’d never miss you
Am
But I guess you’ll never know
              Em
Where the bridges I have burned never really led home
                   Em
On the fourth of July

[BRIDGE]
C                  D              Em  G
I wish I’d known how much you loved me
Am                          Em
I wish I cared enough to know
C                   D          Em
I’m sorry every song’s about you
       G                Am                           Em
The torture of small talk with someone you used to love

[CHORUS]
                          C
It was the fourth of July
                        D              Em        G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
       Am
That went off too soon
                     Em
And I miss you when the ? too
Em                     C
It was the fourth of July
                        D        Em                 G
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
                 Am
I said I’d never miss you
Am
But I guess you’ll never know
              Em
Where the bridges I have burned never really led home
                   Em
On the fourth of July
