The Part You Throw Away

Dm

Dm             A
You dance real slow
A            Dm
You wreck it down
    Bb     G            A     Dm
You walk away, then you turn around

Dm       A        Dm        Bb
What did that old blonde gal say?
A           Dm
That is the part...
    Dm    A  Dm
You throw a__way

Dm                  A
I want that beggars eyes
A         Dm
A winning horse
  Bb   G    A      Dm
A tidy Mexican divorce

Dm         A        Dm        Bb
St. Mary's prayers, Houdini's hands
       A           Dm
And a barman who always
Dm   A    Dm
Un__der__stands

         Bb
Will you lose the flowers, hold on to the vase
         Dm
Will you wipe all those teardrops away from your face
Bb
I can't help thinking as I close the door
Dm         A        Dm
I have done all of this
A      G       A
Many times before

Dm          A
The bone must go
A           Dm
The wish can stay
    Bb         G             A         Dm
The kiss don't know what the lips will say

Dm          A           Dm             Bb
Forget I've hurt you put stones in your bed
      A           Dm
And remember to never
Dm    A   Dm
Mind ins__tead

Bb
Well all of your letters burned up in the fire
Dm
Time is just memory mixed in with Desire
Bb
That's not the road it is only the map I say
Dm        A        Dm
Gone just like matches
      A       G        A
From a closed down cabaret

Dm   A            Dm
In a Portuguese Saloon
  Gm
A fly is a circling
A          Dm
around the room
Dm          A           Dm           Bb
You'll soon forget the tune that you play
    A           Dm
For that is the part
    Dm    A  Dm
You throw a__way
    A           Dm
Ah, that is the part
    Dm    A  Dm
You throw a__way
