Toad the Wet Sprocket – Throw It All Away (Guitar)

             G
Take your cautionary tales

              Em
and take your incremental gains

            C                  D
and all the sycophantic games

                       G
and throw 'em 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

         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

            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

         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

         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

                   C
'cos there ain't nothing you can buy,

         G                Em
there is nothing you can save

            Am                    C
to fill the hole inside your heart

   D             Em    G
so throw it all away

                C                    D
Won't fill the hole inside your heart

          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
