Great Escape Acoustic

Verse 1:
C             G4
Paper bags and plastic hearts,
Am                   F/C
All our belongings in shopping carts,
C            G4
It's goodbye,
      Am             F
But we got one more night.
C                   G4
Let's get drunk and ride around,
       Am               F
And make peace with an empty town.
F
We can make it right.

Chorus:
            C             G4
Throw it away, forget yesterday,
               Am     F
We'll make the great escape.
                C         G4
We won't hear a word they say,
                   Am    F
They don't know us anyway.
         F            Am
Watch it burn, let it die,
      F               G
'Cause we are finally free tonight.

Verse 2:
C             G4
Tonight will change our lives.
Am
It's so good to be by your side,
         F
But we'll cry.
   Am
We won't give up the fight.
C                       G4
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs,
Am                          F
And they'll think it's just cause we're young,
F
And we'll feel so alive.

Chorus:
         C                 G4
Throw it away, forget yesterday,
               Am     F
We'll make the great escape.
                 C          G4
We won't hear a word they say,
                   Am    F
They don't know us anyway.
         F            Am
Watch it burn, let it die,
      F               G
'Cause we are finally free tonight.

Bridge:
F               Am
All of the wasted time,
F                  Am
The hours that were left behind,
F                      Am
The answers that we'll never find,
F                  G
They don't mean a thing tonight.

( C G4 Am F )(2x)

Hook:
         C                 G4
Throw it away, forget yesterday,
               Am     F
We'll make the great escape.
                 C          G4
We won't hear a word they say,
                   Am    F
They don't know us anyway.

Chorus:
         C                 G4
Throw it away, forget yesterday
               Am     F
We'll make the great escape
                 C          G4
We won't hear a word they say
                   Am    F
They don't know us anyway
         F            Am
Watch it burn, let it die
      F               G
'Cause we are finally free tonight
