Sing a sad song, in a lonely place

and try to put a word in for me
Am Fmaj7
It's been so long, since I found a space
Dsus2 E G
you better put in two or three
Am Fmaj7
We as people are just walking 'round

Our heads are firmly fixed in the ground
Am Fmaj7
What we don't see, well it can't be real
Dsus2 E G
What we don't touch we cannot feel

Verse 2
-------
[use same chords as VERSE 1]
If you're needing something I can give
You know I'd help you if I can
If you're honest and you say that you did
You know that I would give you my hand
Or a sad song in a lonely place
I'll try to put a word in for you
Need a shoulder-well if that's the case
You know there's nothing I wouldn't do
Chorus
------
Where we're living in this town
The sun is coming up and it's going down
But it's all just the same at the end of the day
And we cheat and we lie
Nobody says it's wrong so we don't ask why
Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day
So don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Hey hey
[play below riff for a few measure before lyrics come in]
You're throwing it all away throwing it all away
