Toad The Wet Sprocket

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Take your cautionary tales

and take your incremental gains

and all the sycophantic games

and throw 'em all away

Burn your TV in your yard

and gather 'round it with your friends

C D

and warm your hands upon the fire

and start again

[Chorus]

Take the story you've been sold,

G Em

the lies that justify the pain

C D

The guilt that weighs upon your soul

and throw 'em all away

[Verse 2]

Tear up the calendar you bought,

throw the pieces to the sky

Confetti falling down like rain

D G

like a parade to usher in your life

[Chorus]

Take the dreams that should've died,

G Em

the ones that kept you lying awake

C D

when you should've been alright

and throw 'em all away

[Bridge]

F C G F C G

With the time I waste on a life I never had

I could've turned myself into a better man

the wool I've gathered all these days
