Throw It All Away
Glen Phillips & Toad

Toad the Wet Sprocket
Coil
1997

On April 27, 1997, Toad came to Cornell, so I went and saw them.
They ROCKED.  They played this song, along with Come Down and Dam
Would Break from this album (and some others that I don't remember).
Glen mentioned something about not really meaning for you to burn
your TV in your yard, so please don't.  This seems like a fun song
to do, so enjoy it!


G
      Take your cautionary tales
              Em
And take your incremental gain
            C
And all the sycophantic games
D                           G
    And throw 'em all away


Burn your TV in your yard
And gather 'round it with your friends
And warm your hands upon the fire
And start again

CHORUS
         C
Take the story you've been sold
              G             Em
The lies that justify the pain
               C
The guilt that weighs upon your soul
D
    And throw 'em all away

G


Tear up the calendar you bought
And throw the pieces to the sky
Confetti falling down like rain
Like a parade to usher in your life

CHORUS
Take the dreams that should've died
The ones that kept you lying awake
When you should've been alright
And throw 'em all away

G

BRIDGE
         Em   D  C            Am     Em    D
With the time I  waste on the life I never had
           Em     D    C           D
I could've turned my - self into a better man

CHORUS
         C
There is nothing you can buy
             G                Em
And there is nothing you can save
            Am                  C/B C
To fill the hole inside your heart
   D             Em     G
So throw it all away
            C                       D
To fill the hole inside your heart


              G
   Help me to empty out this house
              Em
The wool I've gathered all these days
              Am                  C/B C
And thought I couldn't do without
             D       G
And throw it all away
