He Emfell for her again, Dshe watched it ChappenD  
EmEvery day-- Dday by dayC

GThat he could be Cgood for herD  Em  
GAnd they should be toCgetherD  Em  
You've Emshaken your faith in meD, no
You've Cshaken my faith in Deverything else
A Emdecision no one Dmakes, and Cnow you're going homeD  
CFaith is a hard thing Dto hold on to
CSomething inside you says DI don't have to
EmYou're not like other Dpeople, you do what you Cwant toD

You have Cnothing left to Dsay
You can Csit outside his Ddoor and waitC  D  
Well, you can Emdedicate your Dpain to himC  D  
Oh, thrown Cdown..D. like a barricEmade

The story behind the song

"Thrown Down" is a song born from the enduring creative and personal connection between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Nicks wrote it about Buckingham during a tour, reflecting on how "the barricades of time have always gotten in our way." She felt the line "You're not like other people/You do what you want to" perfectly captured his unique spirit, and noted that he embraced being her muse. Reworked for Fleetwood Mac's 2003 album Say You Will, the song delves into the complexities of a relationship that continues to inspire. It plays like a testament to an unbreakable, if sometimes challenging, bond.
