Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape Chords

[Verse]
 E
Paper bags and plastic hearts
 
All are belongings in shopping carts
       C#m
It's goodbye
  A9
But we got one more night
 E
Let's get drunk and drive around
 B9
And make peace with this empty town
 A9
We can make it right
 
 
[Chorus]
         C#m
Throw it away
             A9
Forget yesterday
               E       B9
We'll make the great escape
                 C#m         A9
We won't hear a word they say
                   E     B9
They don't know us anyway
         F#m
Watch it burn
      C#m
Let it die
        A9               B
Cause we are finally free tonight
 
 
[Verse]
E
Tonight will change our lives
 
It's so good to be by your side
          C#m
And we'll cry
  A9
But we won't give up the fight
E
We'll scream loud to the top of our lungs
B9
They'll think it's just cause we're young
A9
We'll feel so alive
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m
Throw it away
A9
Forget yesterday
          E              B9
We'll make the great escape
                 C#m         A9
We won't hear a word they say
                   E    B9
They don't know us anyway
F#m
Watch it burn
C#m
Let it die
       A9                      B
Cause we are finally free tonight
 
 
A9
All of the wasted time
C#m
The hours that we're left behind
F#m
The answers that we'll never find
B9                           C#m
They don't mean a thing tonight
A9 - E - B9 - C#m - A9 - E - B9
(In this break, just play the same rhythm of the chorus)
 
 
[Chorus]
(Here they stop for a little while... but the chords are the same)
          C#m
Throw it away
              A9
Forget yesterday
                E        B9
We'll make the great escape
                C#m        A9
We won't hear a word they say
                   E      B9
They don't know us anyway
C#m
Throw it away
A9
Forget yesterday
                E          B9
We'll make the great escape
                 C#m         A9
We won't hear a word they say
                    E     B9
They don't know us anyway
C#m
Throw it away
A9
Forget yesterday
               E           B9
We'll make the great escape
                C#m         A9
We won't hear a word they say
                    E       B9
They don't know us anyway
F#m
Watch it burn
C#m
Let it die
        A9             B
Cause we are finally free tonight
