Verse 1:
Em                             B5                                C#5\B5
Paper bags and plastic hearts, our belongings in shopping carts, its goodbye
A                          Em
But we got one more night, Let's get drunk and ride around
B5
And make peace with an empty town
A
We can make it right


Chorus:
        Abmaj
Throw it away
             A
Forget yesterday
               Em    B5
We'll make the great escape
             Abmaj     A
Won't hear a word they say
                Em     B5
They don't know us anyway
A                                               B5-1stroke down
Watch it burn, Let it die, Cause we are finally free tonight


Abmaj, A, Em, B5 x1


Verse 2:
Em                             B5                               C#5\B5
Tonight will change our lives, It's so good to be by your side, We'll cry
A                           Em
We won't give up the fight, We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
B5                                              A
And they'll think it's just 'cause we're young, And we'll feel so alive


Chorus:
        Abmaj
Throw it away
             A
Forget yesterday
               Em    B5
We'll make the great escape
             Abmaj     A
Won't hear a word they say
                Em     B5
They don't know us anyway
A                                               B5-1stroke down
Watch it burn, Let it die, Cause we are finally free tonight


Bridge:
Abmaj
All of the wasted timing
A
Hours that were left behind me
Em
Answers that we'll never find
B5
They don't mean a thing tonight


Chorus:
        Abmaj
Throw it away
             A
Forget yesterday
               Em    B5
We'll make the great escape
             Abmaj     A
Won't hear a word they say
                Em     B5
They don't know us anyway
        Abmaj
Throw it away
             A
Forget yesterday
               Em    B5
We'll make the great escape
             Abmaj     A
Won't hear a word they say
                Em     B5
They don't know us anyway
        Abmaj
Throw it away
             A
Forget yesterday
               Em    B5
We'll make the great escape
             Abmaj     A
Won't hear a word they say
                Em     B5
They don't know us anyway
A                                               B5-1stroke down
Watch it burn, Let it die, Cause we are finally free tonight
