The chords are not exactly accurate, but I think it sounds ok, and it's simply to play.
Enjoy! :)
Intro: C G Am F (x4)
C
Paper bags and plastic hearts
G
All our belongings in shopping carts
Am
It's goodbye
F
But we got one more night
C
Let's get drunk and ride around
G
And make peace with an empty town
Am F
We can make it right
Chorus:
Am
Throw it away
C
Forget yesterday
F G
We'll make the great escape
Am
We won't hear a word they say
C F G
They don't know us anyway
Am
Watch it burn
C
Let it die
F G C G Am F (x2)
Cause we are finally free tonight
C
Tonight will change our lives
G
It's so good to be by your side
Am
But we'll cry
F
We won't give up the fight
C
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
G
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
Am F
And we'll feel so alive
(Same chords as chorus before)
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
Am
All of the wasted time
C
The hours that were left behind me
F
Answers that we'll never find
G Am C F G (x2)
They don't mean a thing tonight
(Repeat chords for chorus)
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
End with: C G Am F (x3) C
