Paper bags and plastic cards All our belongings in shopping carts

And make peace with an empty [F#] town We can [A] make it around
[C#m]
[A] Yesterday, [E] we made the greatest [B] day We won't [C#m] be ruined
I [A] say, they don't [E] know us [B] anyway [F#] Watch it burn, [G#m] let it die
[A] Cause we are [B] finally free, [A] tonight
[E]
Tonight we'll change our lives It's so good to be by your side
[C#m] And we'll cry, [A] we won't give up the fight [E] We'll scream loud at the top of our [B] lungs
And they'll think just cause we're young [E] They'll feel so alive
