Well papa go to bed now it's getting late
                Bb                          F
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
          Bb                            F
I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate
             C                                   Bb
We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow
            Bb                                F
Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
           Bb                                  F
There's a darkness in this town that's got us too
                Bb                         F
But they can't touch me now and you can't touch me now
                 C                                  Bb
They ain't gonna do to me what I watched them do to you

                        F
So say goodbye it's Independance Day
         C                         Bb
It's Independance Day all down the line
                          F
Just say goodbye it's Independance Day
         C                 Bb
It's Independance Day this time

                                    F
Now I don't know what it always was with us
              Bb                           F
We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines
               Bb                              F
There was just no way this house could hold the two of us
               C                               Bb
I guess that we were just too much of the same kind

                          F
Well say goodbye it's Independance Day
         C                           Bb
It's Independance Day all boys must run away
                        F
So say goodbye it's Independance Day
               C                        Bb
All men must make their way come Independance Day

                                     F
Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's joint
              Bb                             F
And the highway she's deserted clear down to Breaker's Point
                        Bb                               F
There's a lot of people leaving town now, leaving their friends, their homes
               C                                Bb
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone
                               F
Well papa go to bed now, it's getting late
                Bb                     F
Nothing we can say can change anything now
                                       Bb
Because there's just different people coming down here now
                                  F
And they see things in different ways
           C                                  Bb
And soon everything we've known will just be swept away

                      F
So say goodbye it's Independance Day
            C                                   Bb
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
                                        F
But won't you just say goodbye it's Independance Day
            C                               Bb
I swear I never meant to take those things away
