[Verse 1]
Oh love, oh love
Won't you rain on me tonight?
Oh life, oh life
Please don't pass me by
Don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop when the red lights flash
Oh ride, free ride
Won't you take me close to you?

[Chorus]
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Oh lights and action
I just can't be satisfied
Oh losers and choosers
Won't you please hold on to my life?
Oh hours, and hours
Like the dog years of the day
Old story, same old story
Won't you see the light of day?

[Chorus]
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose

[Bridge]
Talk myself out of feeling
Talk my way out of control
Talk myself out of falling in love
Falling in love with you, say!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh love, oh love
Won't you rain on me tonight?
Oh ride, free ride
Won't you take me close to you?

[Chorus]
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose

[Outro]
Tonight my heart's on the loose
Tonight my heart's on the loose!

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
