[Verse]
A                             E
Paper bags and plastic hearts ■
                               C#m  
All our 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
       A       C#m  
We can make it right


[Chorus]
                     A        
Throw it away forget yesterday
               E     B     
We'll make the great escape
                    C#m       A  
And we won't hear a word they say
                E  B     
They don't know us anyway
         F#          G#m    
Watch it burn let it ■   die
A                          E       Esus4 E
'cause we are finally free tonight ■     ■


[Verse]
A                            
Tonight will change our lives
E                              
It's so good to be by your side
      C#m
We'll cry
   A                      
We won't give up the fight
E                                   B    
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
                            B                 
And they'll think it's just 'cause we're young
    B7         A  C#m  
And we'll feel so alive


[Chorus]
                     A        
Throw it away forget yesterday
               E     B     
We'll make the great escape
                    C#m       A  
And we won't hear a word they say
                E  B     
They don't know us anyway
         F#          G#m
Watch it burn let it die
       A              B           
'cause we are finally free tonight
A                     
All of the wasted time
    E                          
The hours that were left behind
    F#sus4                       
The answers that we'll never find
B    Bsus4        B     C#m7   
They don't mean a thing tonight

They don't know us anyway
         F#7      G#m       
Watch it burn let ■   it die
