Hey, what's going on?
I'm Martin.
I'm Paul.
We're from boys like girls
The great escape is a song.
It's about
being young and moving on and growing up and
[C] [Cm] Not leaving it all behind
But kind of feeling like you you're moving on to a new [Am] place and you're ready to [G] kind of break free and get out
But you're gonna do it up [C] for one more night with your best friends
It goes like this
Paper bags and plastic cars
I'll be lungs and shopping carts.
[Am] Goodbye
[C] We got one more
Let's get drunken right around
[G] Make peace with an empty [C] town.
Oh, we can make
[A] Throw [Am] it away [C] forget yesterday.
We'll make the greatest [G] game
Won't [Am] hear a word they [F] say
Don't [C] know which way
[G] Watch it burn let [Em] it die [C] cuz we are finally free
Tonight will change our lives so good to be by your side and [Am] we'll cry
[C] Won't give up the fight
Scream louder top of our lungs.
[G] No think it's just cuz we're [C] young
feel so
Throw [Am] it away forget [C] yesterday.
We'll make the greatest
[G] Won't [Am] hear a word [C] they say
We don't know
[G] Anyway, [A] watch it burn
[C] Let it die
Cuz we are [G] finally free
[C] tonight
through the wasted time the
Hours that were left [A] behind the answers that we'll never [G] find.
Well, they don't mean a thing [Am] tonight
