Capo 3rd fret
At the start the guitar does a funny thing after the D, the note on the G string
slides up from an A (which is really E but I'm just talking as if there's no capo
to make it easier) to a B (F#), I tried using Bm but it doesn't sound right, so
just slide that finger up (the one on the G string) to the B by itself wherever I've written Bm.
Intro: Am Em D Bm x2
[Verse one:]
Am Em
Fly-by-Frankie thinks he's superman
D
Like a child at the wheel of a rocket
Am Em
He comes round here with a license to love
D
I don't know where he got it
Am Em
I trusted you offered everything
D
But I'm not sure you deserve it
[Pre-chorus:]
C
You tell me that I'm lucky
But I feel like giving up
D
'Cause a heart like mine's wasted on you
If you don't know what you've got
[Chorus:]
Am
You throw it away
Em
Throw it away
D
All the heart and the soul I've been giving
Am
You throw it away
Em
Throw it away
D
Like it's no big deal you'll be missin'
Am
You throw it away
Em
Throw it away
D Am Em D
Run it underground
[Verse two:]
Am Em
Fly-by-Frankie's got it in his head
D
That he's something I know that he's not
Am Em
He's like a blind bull in a china shop
D
When it comes to affairs of the heart
[Second Pre-chorus:]
C
You wouldn't know what love is
If it hit you like a rock
D
And a girl like me is lost on you
If you don't see what you've got
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Am Em
Every breath in the park
D
Every dance in the dark
Every promise you make
Am
You go and throw it away
Em
Every smile in the rain
D
You know it's always the same
You go and do it again
You go and throw it away [merges into pre-chorus]
[Second Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
