It Ain't Yours to Throw Away

[Intro]

C      Em  D    (Change)


[Verse]
      
      C        Em
That same road that brought you here
D               (Change)
Will sure as hell take you home
        C              Em             D
The life you left behind will have you back
       C                Em             D
You're tired of paying dues in worn out shoes
       D (Change)
and Broadway blues
               C      Em       D
And any fool will tell you the damn ol' deck is stacked


[Pre-Chorus]

C
What if you're just a vessel
Em
And God gave you something special


[Chorus]

C                Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
C                 Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
C              Em
Every time you open up your mouth
A (Change)     Em      G (Change)
Diamonds come rolling out
           C     Em    D
It ain't yours to throw away

      Em       C
No ...


[Verse]

(same chords)
     C                       Em            D
And all of the players, the movers, and shakers
  C              Em            D
The story maker suits have gone home
C                 Em
You drew the last slot
D
You thought it was your shot
     C             Em             D
But now it's just one more chance blown


[Pre-Chorus]

C
What if you're just a vessel
Em
And God gave you something special


[Chorus]

C                Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
C                 Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
C              Em
Every time you open up your mouth
A (Change)     Em      G (Change)
Diamonds come rolling out
           C     Em    D
It ain't yours to throw away

      Em       C
No ...

Em
And our town is cold as January
A (Change)                              C
Life comes true, and dreams get buried every day ...
Em                 D    C
Destiny won't be denied


[Chorus]

C                Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
C                 Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
C              Em
Every time you open up your mouth
A (Change)     Em      G (Change)
Diamonds come rolling out
           C     Em    D
It ain't yours to throw away

      Em       C
No ...

It ain't yours to throw away
It ain't yours to throw away ...
Throw away
