The Great Escape chords by Boys Like Girls

Intro: A* G#* (2x)


A*
Paper bags and plastic hearts
G#*
All are belongings in shopping carts
         C#m7
It's goodbye
     A
But we got one more night
E
 Let's get drunk and ride around
B
 And make peace with an empty town
A                    A (pausa)
We can make it right

(Chorus)
          C#m7	            A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
		E	B
We'll make the great escape
		C#m7	  A
We won't hear a word they say
		    E  B
They don't know us anyway
         F#m          G#m
Watch it burn, let it die
       A	     B
Cause we are finally free tonight

A*
 Tonight will change our lives
G*
It's so good to be by your side
         C#m7
But we'll cry
   A
We won't give up the fight
E
 We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
     B
And they'll think it's just cause were young
    A                  A (pausa)
And we'll feel so alive

(Chorus)
          C#m7	            A
Throw it away, forget yesterday
		E	B
We'll make the great escape
		C#m7	  A
We won't hear a word they say
		    E  B
They don't know us anyway
         F#m           G#M
Watch it burn, let it die
       A	     B
Cause we are finally free tonight

C#m7
All of the wasted time
    A
The hours that were left behind
    E
The answers that we'll never find
     B
They don't mean a thing tonight

(solo)
