G
Take Your Cautionary Tales
              Em
and take your incremental gains
            C                  D
and all the sycophanic games
                 G
and throw it 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
         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

            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
         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
         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(Verse)
                 C
?cos there ain?t nothing you can buy
         G               Em
there is nothing you can save
            C                    D
to fill the hole inside your heart
                Em    G
so throw it all away
                C                    D
won?t fill the hole inside your heart

G
help me to empty this house
Em
the wool I?ve gathered all these days
C
and thought I couldn?t do without
    D            G
and throw it all away
