Am                        E
I think about the life I live
E7                  Am
A figure made of clay
Am                       E
And think about the things I lost
E7                   Am
The things I gave away

Dm                Dm7
And when I'm in a certain mood
F                       E7
I search the house and look
Am                      E
One night I found these magic words
E7            Am
In a magic book


[Chorus]
Dm
Throw it away
Am
Throw it away
            E               E7
Give your love, live your life
                Am
Each and every day
Dm                 Dm7
And keep your hand wide open
F                       E7
Let the sun shine through
Am                   E
'Cause you can never lose a thing
E7                  Am
If it belongs to you


[Verse]
Am                         E
There's a hand to rock the cradle
E7                        Am
And a hand to help us stand
Am                   E
With a gentle kind of motion
E7                        Am
As it moves across the land

Dm                            Dm7
And the hand's unclenched and open
F                          E7
Gifts of life and love it brings
Am                     E
So keep your hand wide open
E7                      Am
If you're needing anything


[Chorus]
Dm
Throw it away
Am
Throw it away
             E               E7
Give your love, live your life
                 Am
Each and every day
Dm                      Dm7
And keep your hand wide open
F                     E7
Let the sun shine through
Am                   E
'Cause you can never lose a thing
E7                 Am
If it belongs to you
Dm
Throw it away
Am
Throw it away
             E                E7
Give your love, live your life
                 Am
Each and every day
Dm                     Dm7
And keep your hand wide open
F                     E7
Let the sun shine through
Am                   E
'Cause you can never lose a thing
E7                 Am
If it belongs to you
Am                   E
'Cause you can never lose a thing
E7                 Am
If it belongs to you
Am                 E
You can never ever lose a thing
E7                 Am
If it belongs to you
Am                 E
You can never ever lose a thing
E7                  Am
If it belongs to you
Am                 E
You can never ever lose a thing
E7                  Am
If it belongs to you
