Tom: B
[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
