G
take your cautionary tales
              Em
and take your incremental gain
            C
and all the sycophantic games
D
and throw 'em all away

G
burn your tv in your yard
            Em
and gather 'round it with your friends
              C
and warm your hands upon the fire
D                G
and start again

         C
take the story you've been sold
              G           Em
the lies that justify the pain
               C
the guilt that weighs upon your soul
D
and throw 'em all away

G
tear up the calendar you bought
              Em
and 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 all right
                      G
and throw 'em all away

F        C      G            F      C     G
with the time i waste on the life i never had
F          C      G                    D
i could've turned myself into a better man

C
there is nothing you can buy
             G               Em
and 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
to fill the hole inside your heart

G
help me to empty this house
         Em
the wool i've gathered all these days
                     Am           C
and thought i couldn't do without
    D                G
and throw it all away
