[VERSE]
D      D/G     D             G        A     D
I just want to throwaway, to get me through today
D/B       D/G     D    D/B  C                 A
Nothing real to hold onto; nothing meant to stay
D    D/G      D                  G         A    D/B
Only till the sun comes up, then cast out on the way
      D       D/G      D   D/B    Em        A      D
Yeah, I just wanna throwaway, to get me through today

[VERSE]
D       D/G     D           G       A     D
I don't need no fairytales; I just wanna start
  D/B     D/G     D         D/B   C                 A
A footstep on the lowest rung; a patch on this old heart
          D    D/G     D                  G     A    D/B
Won't you put a compas in my hand, and send me on my way
      D       D/G   D     D/B     Em        A      D
Cause I just wanna throwaway, to get me through today

[CHORUS]
Em                     A       D                  D/G   D/F#   Em
Build a house on lover's lane; now it's falling down
Em               A                      D                D/G   D/F#   Em
Couldn't stand against the wind, it was built on shaky ground
Em          A                D              D/G   D/F#
All I was I was for her, now since she went away
D      D/G        D   D/B       Em         A     D
Do you deny a throwaway? Oh, to help me through today

Could be some way down the line, before a day will come
     D/B     D/G     D        D/B C                       A
That I have faith enough to say: Hey, this could be the one
D        D/G      D                    G           A          D/B
Till the end of winter comes, and the gold kicks through the grey
