G                       D
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

D G D D G D D G D A G

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
