Capo 3rd fret

At the start the guitar does a funny thing after the D, the note on the G string 
slides up from an A (which is really E but I'm just talking as if there's no capo 
to make it easier) to a B (F#), I tried using Bm but it doesn't sound right, so 
just slide that finger up (the one on the G string) to the B by itself wherever I've written Bm.

Intro: Am Em D Bm x2

[Verse one:]
Am                        Em   
Fly-by-Frankie thinks he's superman
         D
Like a child at the wheel of a rocket
    Am                    Em
He comes round here with a license to love
   D
I don't know where he got it
   Am                Em
I trusted you offered everything
         D
But I'm not sure you deserve it


[Pre-chorus:]
     C
You tell me that I'm lucky

But I feel like giving up
          D
'Cause a heart like mine's wasted on you

If you don't know what you've got

[Chorus:]
              Am
You throw it away
             Em
Throw it away
          D
All the heart and the soul I've been giving
              Am
You throw it away
             Em
Throw it away
          D
Like it's no big deal you'll be missin'
              Am
You throw it away
        Em
Throw it away
D            Am     Em   D
Run it underground

[Verse two:]
Am                     Em
Fly-by-Frankie's got it in his head
           D
That he's something I know that he's not
             Am            Em
He's like a blind bull in a china shop
         D
When it comes to affairs of the heart


[Second Pre-chorus:]
      C
You wouldn't know what love is

If it hit you like a rock
       D
And a girl like me is lost on you

If you don't see what you've got


[Chorus]


[Bridge:]
Am                    Em
Every breath in the park
                      D
Every dance in the dark

Every promise you make
                     Am
You go and throw it away
                    Em
Every smile in the rain
                           D
You know it's always the same

You go and do it again
                      
You go and throw it away [merges into pre-chorus]


[Second Pre-chorus]


[Chorus]
