E4             E
Paper bags and plastic hearts
E4                    E
All are belongings in shopping carts
         C#m7
It's goodbye
     A
But we got one more night
E4                   E
 Let's get drunk and ride around
B
 And make peace with an empty town
A
We can make it right

[Chorus]

          C#m7              A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
                E       B
We'll make the great escape
                C#m7      A
We won't hear a word they say
                    E  B
They don't know us anyway
         F#m          G#m
Watch it burn, let it die
       A             B
Cause we are finally free tonight

( E4  E )

E4            E
 Tonight will change our lives
E4                 E
It's so good to be by your side
         C#m7
But we'll cry
   A
We won't give up the fight
E4                        E
 We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
     B
And they'll think it's just cause were young
    A
And we'll feel so alive

[Chorus]

          C#m7              A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
                E       B
We'll make the great escape
                C#m7      A
We won't hear a word they say
                    E  B
They don't know us anyway
         F#m           G#m
Watch it burn, let it die
       A             B
Cause we are finally free tonight

C#m7
All of the wasted time
    A
The hours that were left behind
    E
The answers that we'll never find
     B
They don't mean a thing tonight

      C#m7                  A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
                E       B
We'll make the great escape
                C#m7      A
We won't hear a word they say
                    E  B
They don't know us anyway

        C#m7                A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
                E       B
We'll make the great escape
                C#m7      A
We won't hear a word they say
                    E  B
They don't know us anyway

          C#m7              A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
                E       B
We'll make the great escape
                C#m7      A
We won't hear a word they say
                    E  B
They don't know us anyway
         F#m           G#m
Watch it burn, let it die
       A             B
Cause we are finally free tonight
