[Intro]
E
 
[Verse 1]
E
Paper bags and plastic hearts
B
All are belongings in shopping carts
      C#m
It's goodbye
     A
But we got one more night
E
Let's get drunk and ride around
B
And make peace with an empty town
C#m             A
We can make it right
 
[Chorus]
         C#m                A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
                 E      B
We'll make the great escape
                C#m        A
We won't hear a word they say
                 E     B
They don't know us anyway
         A            C#m
Watch it burn, let it die
       A              B
Cause we are finally free tonight
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
E
Tonight will change our lives
B
It's so good to be by your side
          C#m
But we'll cry
A
We won't give up the fight
E
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
B
And they'll think it's just cause were young
    C#m             A
And we'll feel so alive
 
[Chorus]
         C#m                A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
                E       B
We'll make the great escape
                C#m       A
We won't hear a word they say
                    E  B
They don't know us anyway
         A            C#m
Watch it burn, let it die
       A             B
Cause we are finally free tonight
 
[Bridge]
A
All of the wasted time
Abm
The hours that were left behind
F#m
The answers that we'll never find
E
They don't mean a thing tonight
 
[Solo]
C#m  A  E  B
C#m  A  E  B
 
[Chorus] x4
         C#m                A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
                E       B
We'll make the great escape
                C#m       A
We won't hear a word they say
                    E  B
They don't know us anyway
         A            C#m
Watch it burn, let it die
       A             B
Cause we are finally free tonight
