[Am/E] [G/D] [Am/C] [G/D]

Verse

[E7+5] [E7] [E7sus4] [E]

I think about the life I live

[E7] [Am]

A figure made of clay

[E+5] [E7] [Esus4] [E]

And think about the things I lost

[E7] [Am]

The things I gave away

[Dm]

And when I'm in a certain mood

[Ebdim]

I search the house and look

[E+5] [E7] [Esus4] [E]

One night I found these magic words

[E7] [Am]

In a magic book

Chorus

[Dm] [G/B]

Throw it away

[C] [F]

Throw it away

[Bm7b5] [E7]

Give your life, live your love

[Am]

Each and every day

[Dm]

And keep your hand wide open

[Ebdim]

Let the sun shine through

[E+5] [E7] [E7sus4] [E]

'Cause you can never lose a thing

[E7] [Am] [E] [Am]

If it this belongs to you

Verse

[E7+5] [E7] [E7sus4] [E]

There's a hand to rock the cradle

[E7] [Am]

And a hand to help us stand

[E+5] [E7] [E7sus4] [E]

With a gentle kind of motion

[E7] [Am]

As it moves across the land

[Dm]

And the hand's unclenched and open

[Ebdim]

Gifts of life and love it brings

[E+5] [E7] [Esus4] [E]

So keep your hand wide open

[E7] [Am]

If you're needing anything

Chorus

[Dm] [G/B]

Throw it away

[C] [F]

Throw it away

And keep your hand wide open

[Ebdim]

Let the sun shine through

[E+5] [E7] [E7sus4] [E]

'Cause you can never lose a thing

[E7] [Am] [E] [Am]

If it this belongs to you

[Verse] Solo

Verse

[E+5] [E7] [E7sus4] [E]

There's a natural obligation

[E7] [Am]

To what we own and claim

[E+5] [E7] [E7sus4] [E]

Possessing and belonging to

[E7] [Am]

Acknowledging a name

[Dm]

So keep your hand wide open

[Ebdim]

If you're needing love today

[E#5] [E7] [E7sus4] [E]

You throw it all away
