^CPaper bags and^G4 plastic hearts, ^AmAll our belongings in^F/C shopping carts, ^CIt's goodbye,^G4 But we^Am got one more n^Fight. ^CLet's get drunk and ^G4ride around, And mak^Ame peace with an e^Fmpty town. ^FWe can make it right.

[Chorus]

Throw it awa^Cy, forget yest^G4erday, We'll make the ^Amgreat e^Fscape. We won't hear a ^Cword they ^G4say, They don't know us ^Amanyway^F. Watch it ^Fburn, let it ^Amdie, 'Cause^F we are finally ^Gfree tonight.

[Verse 2]

^CTonight will c^G4hange our lives. ^AmIt's so good to be by your side, But we'll^F cry. We ^Amwon't give up the fight. ^CWe'll scream loud at the^G4 top of our lungs, ^AmAnd they'll think it's just ^Fcause we're young, ^FAnd we'll feel so alive.

[Chorus]

Throw it ^Caway, forget yeste^G4rday, We'll make the ^Amgreat e^Fscape. We won't hear a w^Cord they sa^G4y, They don't know us ^Amanyway^F. Watch it ^Fburn, let it ^Amdie, 'Cause^F we are finally ^Gfree tonight.

[Bridge]

^FAll of the waste^Amd time, ^FThe hours that were^Am left behind, ^FThe answers that we'll ^Amnever find, ^FThey don't mean a t^Ghing tonight.

C G4 Am F 2X [Hook] (HERE, YOU DONT NEED TO PLAY THE FULL ACCORD, JUST THE STRINGING)

Throw it ^Caway, forget yeste^G4rday, We'll make the ^Amgreat e^Fscape. We won't hear a w^Cord they sa^G4y, They don't know us ^Amanyway^F.

[Chorus]

Boys Like Girls - The great escape
