[Intro].: G D Em G C G D
G D Em G
The moon is full my arms are empty
C G D
All night long I've pleaded and cried
G D Em G
You always said the day that you would leave me
C G D G
Would be a cold day in July
G D Em G
Your bags are packed not a word is spoken
C G D
I guess we said everything with good bye
G D Em G
Time moves so slow and promises get broken
C G D G
On this cold day in July
F C G
Sun's coming up coming up down on Main Street
F C G
Children shout as they're running out to play
Em D
Head in my hands here I am
C G
Standing in my bare feet
Em D G
Watching you drive away
Em D G
Watching you drive away
G D Em G
You said that we were gonna last forever
C G D
You said our love would never die
G D
It looks like spring and
Em G
It feels like sunny weather
C G D G
But it's a cold day in July
F C G
Sun's coming up coming up down on Main Street
F C G
Children shout as they're running out to play
Em D
Head in my hands here I am
C G
Standing in my bare feet
Em D G
Watching you drive away
Em D G
Watching you drive away
G D Em G
The moon is full my arms are empty
C G D
All night long how I've pleaded and cried
G D Em G
You always said the day that you would leave me
C G D G
Would be a cold day in July
Am G D G
Here comes that cold day in July
