capo 3rd fret

at the start the guitar does a funny thing after the D , the note on the G string
slides up from an A ( which is really E but i’m just talking as if there’s no capo
to make it easier ) to A B ( F# ) , i tried using Bm but it doesn’t sound right , so
just slide that finger up ( the one on the G string ) to the B by itself wherever i’ve written Bm .

intro : Am Em D Bm x2

[ verse one : ]
Am Em
fly – by – frankie thinks he’s superman
D
like a child at the wheel of a rocket
Am Em
he comes round here with a license to love
D
i don’t know where he got it
Am Em
i trusted you offered everything
D
but i’m not sure you deserve it

[ pre – chorus : ]
C
you tell me that i’m lucky

but i feel like giving up
D
’cause a heart like mine’s wasted on you

if you don’t know what you’ve got

[ chorus : ]
Am
you throw it away
Em
throw it away
D
all the heart and the soul i’ve been giving
Am
you throw it away
Em
throw it away
D
like it’s no big deal you’ll be missin’
Am
you throw it away
Em
throw it away
D Am Em D
run it underground

[ verse two : ]
Am Em
fly – by – frankie’s got it in his head
D
that he’s something i know that he’s not
Am Em
he’s like a blind bull in a china shop
D
when it comes to affairs of the heart

[ second pre – chorus : ]
C
you wouldn’t know what love is

if it hit you like a rock
D
and a girl like me is lost on you

if you don’t see what you’ve got

[ chorus ]

[ bridge : ]
Am Em
every breath in the park
D
every dance in the dark

every promise you make
Am
you go and throw it away
Em
every smile in the rain
D
you know it’s always the same

you go and do it again

you go and throw it away [ merges into pre – chorus ]
