Throw It All Away
Toad The Wet Sprocket
[Verse]
G
Take your cautionary tales
Em
and take your incremental gains
C D
and all the sycophanic games
G
and throw it all away
G
burn your TV in your yard
Em
and gather 'round it with your friends
C D
and warm your hands upon the fire
G
and start again
[Chorus]
C
take the story you've been sold
G Em
the lies that justify the pain
C D
the guilt that weighs upon your soul
G
and throw 'em all away
[Verse]
G
tear up the calendar you bought
Em
throw the pieces to the sky
C
confetti falling down like rain
D G
like a parade to usher in your life
[Chorus]
C
take the dreams that should've died
G Em
the ones that kept you lying awake
C D
when you should've been alright
G
and throw 'em all away
[Bridge]
F C G F C G
With the time I waste on a life I never had
F C G D
I could've turned myself into a better man
[Solo]
|G |G |Em |Em |C |D |G |G |
[Chorus]
C
'cos there ain't nothing you can buy
G Em
there is nothing you can save
C D
to fill the hole inside your heart
Em G
so throw it all away
C D
won't fill the hole inside your heart
[Ending]
G
help me empty out this house
Em
the wool I've gathered all these days
Am
and thought I couldn't do without
C D G
and throw it all away
