Tom : Am
Am E
I think about the life I live
E7 Am
A figure made of clay
Am E
And think about the things I lost
E7 Am
The things I gave away
Dm Dm7
And when I'm in a certain mood
F E7
I search the house and look
Am E
One night I found these magic words
E7 Am
In a magic book
[Chorus]
Dm
Throw it away
Am
Throw it away
E E7
Give your love, live your life
Am
Each and every day
Dm Dm7
And keep your hand wide open
F E7
Let the sun shine through
Am E
'Cause you can never lose a thing
E7 Am
If it belongs to you
[Verse]
Am E
There's a hand to rock the cradle
E7 Am
And a hand to help us stand
Am E
With a gentle kind of motion
E7 Am
As it moves across the land
Dm Dm7
And the hand's unclenched and open
F E7
Gifts of life and love it brings
Am E
So keep your hand wide open
E7 Am
If you're needing anything
[Chorus 2x 2x 2x]
Dm
Throw it away
Am
Throw it away
[Próxima Parte]
Dm
Throw it away
Am
Throw it away
[Próxima Parte]
Am E
You can never ever lose a thing
E7 Am
If it belongs to you
