Cadd9    Em           
That same road that brought you here
D             D (Change)
Will sure as hell take you home
        Cadd9          Em             Dsus
The life you left behind will have you back
       Cadd9            Em             D
You're tired of paying dues in worn out shoes
       D (Change)
and Broadway blues
               Cadd9  Em       Dsus
And any fool will tell you the damn ol' deck is stacked


[Pre-Chorus]

Cadd9
What if you're just a vessel
Em
And God gave you something special


[Chorus]

Cadd9            Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
Cadd9             Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
Cadd9          Em
Every time you open up your mouth
A (Change)     Em      G (Change)
Diamonds come rolling out
           Cadd9 Em    D
It ain't yours to throw away

      Em       Cadd9
No ...


[Verse]

(same chords)

And all of the players, the movers, and shakers
The story maker suits have gone home
You drew the last slot
You thought it was your shot
But now it's just one more chance blown


[Pre-Chorus]

Cadd9
What if you're just a vessel
Em
And God gave you something special


[Chorus]

Cadd9            Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
Cadd9             Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
Cadd9          Em
Every time you open up your mouth
A (Change)     Em      G (Change)
Diamonds come rolling out
           Cadd9 Em    D
It ain't yours to throw away

      Em       Cadd9
No ...

Em
And our town is cold as January
A (Change)                              Cadd9
Life comes true, and dreams get buried every day ...
Em                 Dsus Cadd9
Destiny won't be denied


[Chorus]

Cadd9            Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
Cadd9             Em     D
It ain't yours to throw away
Cadd9          Em
Every time you open up your mouth
A (Change)     Em      G (Change)
Diamonds come rolling out
           Cadd9 Em    D
It ain't yours to throw away

      Em       Cadd9
No ...

It ain't yours to throw away
It ain't yours to throw away ...
Throw away
