C               F       G       C
How would it feel to never exist
C       F       G       C
And how did it come to this
C               F       G       C
Save your thoughts for another day
C               F       G       C       C
I'll keep the things you throw away


Em      F       G       C       Em      F       G       C
If you love     some    thing,  if you love     some    thing
G               F       Em              F
Don't hide it away,     don't hide it   away

And you know you will never be me

Save it all as a memory
C          F            G       C
It's in the things we do and say
C               F       G       C       C
I'll keep the things you throw away


Em      F       G       C       Em      F       G       C
If you love     some    thing,  if you love     some    thing

Now I have nothing to a-say
