[Intro] G C G D [Verse] G C I'm a book of mistakes G C And it's just getting worse G C Every new one I make G C Is a rumour you heard Bm C 'Cause these days I'm self-destructive G The way I love Bm C I push away every chance G 'Cause it's never enough D Am My love, you can take the things they say C As the bitter truth Am But don't throw it all away C D On second hand news [Chorus] G C 'Cause if I just let go G C If my heart could choose Em C I would burn these bridges I've built D And find my way back to you Em C No, don't throw it all away D On second hand news G C G D [Verse] G C Been a broken machine G C Since the day you've been gone G C On a loop in a dream G C Did you think I'd move on? Am You can take the things they say C As the bitter truth Am But don't throw it all away C D On second hand news [Chorus] G C 'Cause if I just let go G C If my heart could choose Em C I would burn these bridges I've built D And find my way back to you G C I'd leave it all behind G C I've got nothing to lose Em C And I know you heard what you heard D But it doesn't mean it's true Em C No, don't throw it all away D On second hand news [Middle 8] Am Crying silent tears in the next door room Bm 'Cause everybody's here but you C So I wrote you out this message D But I stopped myself from sending it off Am Bm C D [Chorus] G C If I just let go G C If my heart could choose Em C I would burn these bridges I've built D And find my way back to you G C I'd leave it all behind G C I've got nothing to lose Em C And I know you heard what you heard D But it doesn't mean it's true Em C No, don't throw it all away D On second hand news Em C No, don't throw it all away D On second hand news
