Throw It All Away Chords

Throw It All Away
Toad The Wet Sprocket
 
[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
             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
 
[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 2]
            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
            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
 
[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
