 intro: keyboard riff and drums (x1)
 
 C       G   Fmaj7      
 If ever you had counted
 C   G             Fmaj7     
 The centuries you threw away
 C   G                 Fmaj7          
 And all the lies that you had started
 C   G               Fmaj7      
 And all the chances thrown away
 C  G              Fmaj7       
 If I set sail for new horizons
 C       G                  Fmaj7     
 Could I still leave you waiting here?
 C      G               Fmaj7         
 I would chase just one set of chances
 C          G                Fmaj7 
 The others would be thrown away
 
 E              Am     Bb                 C   
 Even though we tried, time wasn't on our side
 E                   Am     Bb            G  
 Then there came the day we threw it all away
 Bb      G    Bb      G    Bb      G  
 Thrown away, thrown away, thrown away
 
 C  G                 Fmaj7         
 My winter nights are so much colder
 C    G                Fmaj7 
 Than yours could ever be
 C        G             Fmaj7    
 I wish I hadn't been a traveller
 C                G          Fmaj7 
 I would not have had to go away
 C          G               Fmaj7 
 When all is said and all is over
 C   G                  Fmaj7 
 When all is just a memory
 C              G               Fmaj7 
 Our ships will stay for just a moment
 C            G           Fmaj7  
 Leaving false Gods and hypocrisy
 
 E              Am     Bb                 C   
 Even though we tried, time wasn't on our side
 E                   Am     Bb            G  
 Then there came the day we threw it all away
 Bb G Bb G Bb G (N.C.)
 Thrown away, thrown away, thrown away
 E              Am     Bb                 C   
 Even though we tried, time wasn't on our side
 E                   Am     Bb            G  
 Then there came the day we threw it all away
 Bb      G    Bb      G    Bb      G  
 Thrown away, thrown away, thrown away
 Bb      G    Bb      G    Bb      G  
 Thrown away, thrown away, thrown away
