Lyrics
Pa per bags and plas tic hearts,
all our be long ings in shop ping carts.
It’s good bye
but (Asus2)we got one more night.
Let’s get drunk and the ride of a round and make peace with an emp ty town.
And (Asus2)We can make it right.
Throw it a (C#m7)way, for get yes ter (Asus2)day.
We’ll make the (E5)great es cape.
And we won’t hear a (C#m7)word they say.
They don’t know us (E5)an y way.
Watch it burn,
let it die
’cause (Asus2)we are fi n’ly free to night.
To per night will change our lives.
It’s so be good to be by your side but we’ll cry.
We (Asus2)won’t give up the fight.
