 [VERSE]
                     C
 Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
                    F      C
 Pack yourself a favorite blouse
            C                               F    C
 Take a withdrawal slip, take all of your savings out
                     Am           G
 Cause if we don't leave this town
                  F       C
 We might never make it out
             Am      G                C F C 
 I was not born to drown, baby come on
 
 [VERSE ONE]
                     C
 Forget what Father Brennan said
               F       C
 We were not born in sin
                C
 Leave a note on your bed
                  F           C
 Let your mother know you're safe

              Am         G
 And by the time she wakes
                   F            C
 We'll have driven through the state
                    Am           G               C
 We'll have driven through the night, baby come on

 [CHORUS]
         C
 If the sun don't shine on me today
             F       Am          G     C
 And if the subways flood and bridges break
          C
 Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
              F     Am            G      C
 Or will you rail against your dying day
 
 [VERSE TWO]
                  C                         F       C
 And when we looked outside, couldn't even see the sky
              C                        F    C
 How do you pay the rent, is it your parents
           Am         G
 Or is it hard work dear
              F    C
 Holding the atmosphere
                Am          G 
 I don't wanna live like that

          C                F
 If the sun don't shine on me today
           Am       F              C
 If the subways flood and the bridges break
 
 [BRIDGE]
   Am   G  C         Am    G     C
 Jesus Christ can't save me tonight
       Am   G  C            Am     G     C
 Put on your dress, yes wear something nice
    Am   G  C           Am  G   C
 Decide on me, yea decide on us
  Am  G  C
 Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois

                    C
 Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
                   F        C
 Pack yourself a favorite blouse
           C                              F        C
 Take a withdrawal slip, take all of your savings out
                      Am         G
 Cause if we don't leave this town
                F        C
 We might never make it out
