well , papa go to bed now it’s getting late ,
G D
nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
G D
i’ll be leaving in the morning from st . mary’s gate ,
A G
we wouldn’t change this thing even if we could somehow

G D
cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us ,
G D
there’s a darkness in this town that’s got us too ,
G D
but they can t touch me now and you can’t touch me now ,
A G
they ain’t gonna do to me what i watched them do to you

G D
so say goodbye , it’s independence day ,
A G
it’s independence day all down the line
D
just say goodbye , it’s independence day ,
A G
it’s independence day this time

G D
now , i don’t know what it always was with us ,
G D
we chose the words , and yeah , we drew the lines
G D
there was just no way this house could hold the two of us , anymore ,
A G
i guess that we were just too much of the same kind

G D
well , say goodbye , it’s independence day ,
A G
all boys must run away , from independence day
D
so say goodbye it’s independence day ,
C G
all men must make their way , come independence day

G D
now the rooms are all empty down at frankie’s joint ,
G D
and the highway she’s deserted clear down to breaker’s point
G D
there’s a lot of people leaving town now , leaving their friends , their homes;
A G
at night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone

G D
well , papa go to bed now it’s getting late ,
G D
nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
G
because there’s just different people coming down here now ,
D
and they see things in different ways;
A G
and soon everything we’ve known will just be swept away

G D
so say goodbye it’s independence day ,
A G
papa now i know the things you wanted that you could not say
D
but won’t you just say goodbye , it’s independence day ,
A G
i swear i never meant to take those things away
