intro: keyboard riff and drums (x1)

[C]If ever [G]you [Fmaj7]had counted
[C]The [G]centuries you [Fmaj7]threw away
[C]And [G]all the lies that [Fmaj7]you had started
[C]And [G]all the chances [Fmaj7]thrown away
[C]If [G]I set sail for [Fmaj7]new horizons
[C]Could I [G]still leave you wai[Fmaj7]ting here?
[C]I would[G] chase just one [Fmaj7]set of chances
[C]The others [G]would be thrown a[Fmaj7]way

[E]Even though we [Am]tried, [Bb]time wasn't on our [C]side
[E]Then there came the [Am]day we [Bb]threw it all a[G]way
[Bb]Thrown a[G]way, [Bb]thrown a[G]way, [Bb]thrown a[G]way

[C]My [G]winter nights are [Fmaj7]so much colder
[C]Than [G]yours could ever [Fmaj7]be
[C]I wish I [G]hadn't been a [Fmaj7]traveller
[C]I would not have [G]had to go a[Fmaj7]way
[C]When all is[G] said and all is[Fmaj7] over
[C]When[G] all is just a memo[Fmaj7]ry
[C]Our ships will [G]stay for just a [Fmaj7]moment
[C]Leaving false[G] Gods and hy[Fmaj7]pocrisy

[E]Even though we [Am]tried, [Bb]time wasn't on our [C]side
[E]Then there came the [Am]day we [Bb]threw it all a[G]way
Bb G Bb G Bb G (N.C.)
Thrown away, thrown away, thrown away
[E]Even though we [Am]tried, [Bb]time wasn't on our [C]side
[E]Then there came the [Am]day we [Bb]threw it all a[G]way
[Bb]Thrown a[G]way, [Bb]thrown a[G]way, [Bb]thrown a[G]way
[Bb]Thrown a[G]way, [Bb]thrown a[G]way, [Bb]thrown a[G]way

repeat 'thrown away' bit until fade...
