Verse 1:
                                                             Paper bags and plastic hearts, our belongings in shopping carts, its goodbye
                          
But we got one more night, Let's get drunk and ride around

And make peace with an empty town

We can make it right


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


Abmaj, , ,  x1


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


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


Bridge:
Abmaj
All of the wasted timing

Hours that were left behind me

Answers that we'll never find

They don't mean a thing tonight


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