F#m                        C#
I wish we'd started in the rain
                    D
So that when it was gray
                    A      E/G#     F#m
We'd think it was a fine and normal day
                  C#
Yeah I think I misbehaved
                    D
Somewhere along the way
                    A        E/G#    F#m
Now I wish I hadn't strayed my moral lane


[Pre-Chorus]
            C#
Cause now I know
              Bm
Life is but a poem
        D      C#        F#m
That we write, phrase by phrase
        C#
Til' we go
C#7       Bm
To the catacombs
         C#
Where we lie


[Chorus]
F#m
It must be July
         C#m        C#           D
'Cause I only wanna ride with my hair down
                  A
And listen to the sound
                 F#m
Of people on the town
F#m
It must be July
         C#m                     D
'Cause I only wanna ride with my hair down
                  D
And listen to the sound
                 F#m
Of people on the town


F#m C# D A E/G#


[Verse 2]
F#m                      C#
I wish we'd started in a rush
                 D
So if it got too much
                      A        E/G#   F#m
We'd think we're at a fine and normal pace
F#m
My head stays
C#                                        Dmaj7
Living in the middle of the mess I made, I said
               A   E/G#      F#m
I wish I had a bed inside my brain


[Pre-Chorus]
          C#
But now I know
               Bm
Life is just a poem
        D                F#m
That we write, phrase by phrase
        C#
Til' we go
           Bm
To the catacombs
         Dm
Where we lie


[Chorus]
F#m
It must be July
         C#m                     D
'Cause I only wanna ride with my hair down
                  A
And listen to the sound
                 F#m
Of people on the town
F#m
It must be July
              C#m                D
'Cause I only wanna ride with my hair down
                  A
And listen to the sound
                 F#m
Of people on the town


[Solo]

[Bridge]
F#m
It must be July
         C#                         Bm     C#
'Cause I only wanna ride with my hair down
                 A
Baby, baby, baby
F#m
It must be July
         C#m        C#              Bm     
'Cause I only wanna ride with my hair down


[Chorus]
F#m
It must be July
         C#m        C#           D
'Cause I only wanna ride with my hair down
                  A
And listen to the sound
                 F#m
Of people on the town
F#m
It must be July
         C#m        C#           D
'Cause I only wanna ride with my hair down
                  A
And listen to the sound
                 N.C.
Of people on the town
