THROWAWAY  (The Posies)

Chords by:  Justin Makeig (makeig@nwu.edu)


Intro:  C  Em  G  Em
C   G             Em          A
I remember giving up the gory details
C              G                     Em         A
And it left me tongue-tied (such and elementary sickness)
      C             G           A             Em
Now I don't want to think and I don't want to feel
  C      G              A           Em
I wasn't aware this was part of the deal
C             G           Em           A
When I put my finger on a greater expectation
C           G                Em            A
But just my luck, I lack the patience of a statesman
    C         G             A          Em
And all of my language will fail to convey
         C        G        A            Em
That I'm terribly twisted around what I say
        C            G       A
And the message that I threw away

        C       G     Em
I don't have it now
        C       G     Em
I don't have it now
        C       G     Em
I don't have it now
        C       G     Em
I don't have it now

So I keep hiding and it only grows to hurt me
But time is wasting and I'm watching it desert me
I'm digging a hole and I'm making it deep
And I'm starting to question the hours I keep
And the answer that I put to sleep

I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now

And so I'm writing with the hope that someone's reading
For all too likely runs the risk of me repeating
But I don't have the guts to prevent the decay
And I'm terribly twisted around what I say
And the courage that I threw away

I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now

        C       G     Em
I don't have it now
        C       G     Em
I don't have it now
        C       G     A
I don't have it now
        C       G     Bb  C  G
I don't have it now
