G5
Take Your Cautionary Tales
              E5
and take your incremental gains
            C5                  D5
and all the sycophanic games
                 G5
and throw it all away
G5
burn your tv in your yard
             E5
and gather 'round it with your friends
              C5                      D5
and warm your hands upon the fire
                G5
and start again
         C5
take the story you've been sold
              G5              E5
the lies that justify the pain
               C5                     D5
the guilt that weighs upon your soul
                     G5
and throw 'em all away

            G5
tear up the calendar you bought
           E5
throw the pieces to the sky
         C5
confetti falling down like rain
       D5                            G5
like a parade to usher in your life
         C5
take the dreams that should've died
              G5                 E5
the ones that kept you lying awake
          C5                      D5
when you should've been alright
                      G5
and throw 'em all away
         F5    C5 G5          F5       C5    G5
With the time I waste on a life I never had
           F5      C5   G5                 D5
I could?ve turned myself into a better man

Solo(Verse)
                 C5
?cos there ain?t nothing you can buy
         G5               E5
there is nothing you can save
            C5                    D5
to fill the hole inside your heart
                E5    G5
so throw it all away
                C5                    D5
won?t fill the hole inside your heart

G5
help me to empty this house
E5
the wool I?ve gathered all these days
C5
and thought I couldn?t do without
    D5            G5
and throw it all away
