[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Paper bags and plastic hearts
[C]All our belongings in shopping carts
It's good[Am]bye
But [F]we got one more [F]night
[C]Let's get drunk and ride around
[G]And make peace with an empty town
[F]We can make it [F]right

[Chorus 1]
Throw it a[A]way
Forget yester[F]day
We'll make the [C]great es[G]cape
We won't hear a [A]word they [F]say
They don't know us [C]any[G]way
Watch it [Dm]burn
Let it [Em]die
'Cause [F]we are finally [G]free tonight

[Interlude 1]
[C][C][C][C]

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

[Chorus 2]
Throw it a[A]way
Forget yester[F]day
We'll make the [C]great es[G]cape
We won't hear a [A]word they [F]say
They don't know us [C]any[G]way
Watch it [Dm]burn
Let it [Em]die
'Cause [F]we are finally [G]free tonight

[Bridge 1]
[F]All of the wasted time
The [C]hours that were left behind
The [Dm]answers that we'll never find
[G]They don't mean a [G]thing tonight

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][C][G]
[Am][F][C][G]

[Chorus 3]
Throw it a[A]way
Forget yester[F]day
We'll make the [C]great es[G]cape
We won't hear a [A]word they [F]say
They don't know us [C]any[G]way
Throw it a[A]way
Forget yester[F]day
We'll make the [C]great es[G]cape
We won't hear a [A]word they [F]say
They don't know us [C]any[G]way
Throw it a[A]way
Forget yester[F]day
We'll make the [C]great es[G]cape
We won't hear a [A]word they [F]say
They don't know us [C]any[G]way
Watch it [Dm]burn
Let it [Em]die
'Cause [F]we are finally [G]free tonight
