5 Seconds of Summer - Independence Day

      I decided to post my own version of this song because I felt as if the other wasn't completely accurate...
Hopefully this one works! I came up with it based off of the recording of Independence Day by 5SOS, just let
me know if something isn't right and I'll fix it!


Capo 1 (Standard Tuning)

Intro:
D A Em G
Bm A G

Verse 1:
Bm
You're telling me the same old story
G
And that I need to change
Bm
If you're not living my life for me
G
You make it feel that way

Bm
You know, you know we're losing control
G
I gotta break away or nothing's gonna change
Bm                         D          F#m
You've got to go, it's the end of the road
   G
No matter what you do or say
A
Baby you're not what I need

Chorus:
Bm            A             G    
  I'm over this, I'm over you
              A              D  A  G
I'm not gonna waste my life away
(G)
This is my independence day
Bm             A                 G
  I'm moving on, there's no excuse
            A               D  A  G
And I can't take away your pain
(G)        
This is my independence day

(Repeat Intro)

Verse 2:
Bm
Suddenly my picture's looking perfect
G
Since you're not in the frame
Bm
And deep down I never meant to hurt you
G
But you're the one to blame

Bm
You know, you know we're losing control
G
Before it's too late, I'm making my escape
Bm                 D              F#m
Now that I'm gone, you're on your own
G
No matter what you do or say
A
Baby you're not what I need

Chorus:
Bm            A             G    
  I'm over this, I'm over you
              A              D  A  G
I'm not gonna waste my life away
(G)
This is my independence day
Bm             A                 G
  I'm moving on, there's no excuse
            A               D  A  G
And I can't take away your pain
(G)        
This is my independence day

Bridge:
Bm          G
Wouldn't it be nice
A                D          A         Bm
  If it could've worked out right for us
           G                 A
I know you fought for all we had

Bm            G
But it didn't feel right
A               D           A       G
  Hearts on our sleeves, we lost tonight
(G)                    A
And there's no looking back
