F
Well papa go to bed now it's getting late
Bb F
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
Bb F
I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate
C Bb
We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow
Bb F
Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
Bb F
There's a darkness in this town that's got us too
Bb F
But they can't touch me now and you can't touch me now
C Bb
They ain't gonna do to me what I watched them do to you
F
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
C Bb
It's Independence Day all down the line
F
Just say goodbye it's Independence Day
C Bb
It's Independence Day this time

F
Now I don't know what it always was with us
Bb F
We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines
Bb F
There was just no way this house could hold the two of us
C Bb
I guess that we were just too much of the same kind
F
Well say goodbye it's Independence Day
C Bb
It's Independence Day all boys must run away
F
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
C Bb
All men must make their way come Independence Day

F
Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's joint
Bb F
And the highway she's deserted clear down to Breaker's Point
Bb F
There's a lot of people leaving town now, leaving their friends, their homes
C Bb
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone
F
Well papa go to bed now, it's getting late
Bb F
Nothing we can say can change anything now
Bb
Because there's just different people coming down here now
F
And they see things in different ways
C Bb
And soon everything we've known will just be swept away
F
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
C Bb
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
F
But won't you just say goodbye it's Independence Day
C Bb
I swear I never meant to take those things away
