There's a song I guess I wrote during the darkest hour this is called Independence Day
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F] [Bb]
[F] [C]
[Bb] Well
[F]
It's getting late
[Bb] Nothing we can say is gonna change anything
[F] [Bb] I'll be leaving in the morning
from [F] St.
Mary's gate
[C] We would change this thing even if we [Bb] could somehow
Does the darkness of this house has got [F] the best of us?
[Bb] There's a darkness in this town.
That's got [F] us too
[Bb] They can't touch me now
And you [F] can't touch me now
They [C] ain't gonna do to me what I watched them [Bb] do to you
Say goodbye, it's [F] Independence Day
All [C] boys must run away
Come [Bb] Independence Day
They'll say [D] goodbye
It's [F] Independence Day
All [C] men must make their way
Come [Bb] Independence Day
Papa I don't know what it [F] always was with us
We [Bb] chose the words
And yeah, we [F] drew the line
[Bb] There was just no way this house [F] could hold the two of us.
I
[C] Guess that we were just too much [Bb] of the same cat
So say goodbye
[F] It's Independence Day
[D] All [C] boys must run away
[Bb] Come Independence Day
Won't you just say goodbye
[F] It's Independence Day
[C] All men must make their way
[Bb] Come Independence Day
[F] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] [C]
[Bb] Now the rooms are all empty
[F] Down at Frankie's joint
[Bb] And the highway she's deserted cleared [F] down to breakers point
[Bb] There's a lot of people leaving town
Leaving [F] their friends their homes
At [C] night they walk this dark and dusty [Bb] highway
So Papa go to bed now
[F] It's getting late
[Bb] Nothing we can say is gonna change [F] anything now
[Bb] Because there's different people coming down here now
[F] And they see things in different ways
[C] And soon everything we've known will [Bb] just be swept away
So say [G] goodbye
It's [F] Independence Day
Now [C] I know the things you wanted
That [Bb] you could not [F] say
But [Bb] can't you just say [G] goodbye
It's [F] Independence Day
I swear [C] I never meant to take [Bb] those things away
