Throwing Good After Bad chords by Brandi Carlile

[Intro]

 C              F
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
                C
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
                F  C
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
 
 
[Verse]

               F
I know you're leavin' me
                     C
I know I'm not your home
            F
You want a movie dancer
                       C
You want blood from a stone
 
        Am
But I'm on to you
              Em
And you will pour your heart into
                F
Any shimmering fad
 G                   F C
Throwin' good after bad
 
 
[Verse]

 C                  F
People get addicted to
     C
The rush, the chase, the new
                  F
Just hopin' that all that chaos
                        C
Will lead to somethin' like this
 
         Am
I'll get over you
                  Em
But you won't be whole until you do
                         F
You won't find what you had
G                    F C
Throwin' good after bad
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

           F            C             F
And I'll always feel a little left behind
          E               Am
But that lyin' wind that calls your name
      D                  D  D7 Dm7
Will leave you flowin' blind
 
 
[Chorus]

         F      C
Are you fantasizin'?
        Em
You're takin' us for granted
               F
I know you're bored
            G
You always say I'm heavy handed
 
           F         C
You got a beautiful mind
         F           C
And the soul of a coyote
                    F
Hunger drivin' you mad
 G                   C
Throwin' good after bad
 
                    F
Hunger drivin' you mad
 G                   F C
Throwin' good after bad
 
 
[Verse]

            F
I know you loved me once
                       C
You were somethin' to prove
            F
I was an unfinished song
                     C
You were nothin' to lose
 
       Am
I'm a dandelion
             Em
And when my color suited you
                   F
You allowed me to grow
                       D
But you know when you know
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                    C
And now the party's over
                     F
And you're dancin' alone
             Am                  G
You've been spinnin' 'round for hours
     D                  D  D7 Dm7
The band have all gone home
 
 
[Chorus]

            F      C
And you're fantasizin'?
        Em
You're takin' us for granted
               F
I know you're bored
            G
You always say I'm heavy handed
 
           F         C
You got a beautiful mind
         F           C
And the soul of a coyote
                    F
Hunger drivin' you mad
 G                   F
Throwin' good after bad
 
 C                  F
Hunger drivin' you mad
 G                   C
Throwin' good after bad
 
                    F
Hunger drivin' you mad
G                    C
Throwin' good after bad
 
                    F G F C
Hunger drivin' you mad
 
 
[Outro]

                F
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
                C
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
                F   C
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
