[Intro]
                     E
Na na na na nya nana na  |E B*| A* B*|
    E          B*    A*   E

[Verse 1] 
E                B*              A*         B*
  Wouldn’t it be great if no one ever got offended?
    E               B*                  A*            B*
And wouldn’t it be great to say what’s really on your mind?
E              B*           A*                  B*
I have always said all the rules are made for bending
    E           B*                A*              B*
And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime?

[Chorus]
A       B   E           C#m
I wanna be consequence free
A       B           C#m             B
I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
A       B   E           C#m 
I wanna be consequence free just sing
E     B  A        B     E
Na Na Na Na Na Ne Na Na Na 
E     B  A        B     E
Na Na Na Na Na Ne Na Na Na 

[Verse 2]
E                B*        A*                B*
  I could really use to lose my Catholic conscience
E                    B*              A*           B*
'Cause I’m getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
E         B*             A*                  B*
I won’t abuse it, yeah I’ve got the best intentions
E                     B*        A*              B*
For a little bit of anarchy but not the hurting kind

[Chorus]
A       B   E           C#m
I wanna be consequence free
    A       B           C#m             B
and I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
A       B   E           C#m 
I wanna be consequence free just sing
E     B  A        B     E
Na Na Na Na Na Ne Na Na Na 
E     B  A        B     E
Na Na Na Na Na Ne Na Na Na 

[Bridge]
A             E                C#m
I couldn’t sleep at all last night
            B*             A*
Cause I had so much on my mind
B*            A*           C#m
I’d like to leave it all behind,
          B*                A*
But you know it’s not that easy
     B*
ooh, for just one night

[Verse 3] 
E                  B*          A*               B*
  Wouldn’t it be great, if the band just never ended
E                  B*                A*             B*
We could stay out late and we would never hear last call
E                    B*              A*        B*
We wouldn’t need to worry about approval or permission, we could
E               B*            A*            B*
Slip off the edge and never worry about the fall (worry 'bout the fall)
 
[Outro]
A       B   E           C#m
I wanna be consequence free
    A       B           C#m             B
and I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
A       B   E           C#m 
I wanna be consequence free just sing
E     B  A        B     E
Na Na Na Na Na Ne Na Na Na 
E     B  A        B     E
Na Na Na Na Na Ne Na Na Na
