[D] [Dm]
You dance real slow, you [G] [Dm] wreck it down, [G] then you [Gm] walk away, [A] you turn [Dm] around.
What did [A] that [Dm] old blonde [Gm] gal say?
[A] [G] That [Dm] is the part
[D] [A] you throw [G] [Dm] away.
[Bb] I want [Dm] that [A] beggar's ass, [Dm] a winning horse, [Gm] the tidy [Dm] Mexican [A] [Dm] divorce.
St.
[Am] Mary's prayers, [Gm] Houdini's hands, [Dm]
[A] and a [Dm] barman who always
[Bb] [Am]
[Bb] [Dm] understands.
[Gm] When you lose the flowers, hold on to the face [Dm] for you, wipe all those teardrops away from your face.
[Gm] I can't help [Gb] thinking [Gm] as I close [Em] the door, I have [D] done all of [Dm] this
[A] many times before.
[Dm] Where the bone [A] must go, [D] the wish can stay, [Gm] the kiss don't know [Bb] what the [G] lips [Dm] will say.
Forget [A] I've [G] hurt you, [Dm] put [G] stones in our [Gm] bed, [A] and remember [Dm] to never
[G]
[A] mind [Dm] instead.
When [G]
all of your letters [Gm] burned up in [G] the fire, [Dm] time is just [A] a memory [Dm]
mixed with desire.
[G] That's [D] not the road, [Gm] it is only [E] the map I [D] set [G] gone, [Am] [E] just [Dm] like matches [F] from [A] a closed down cabaret.
In [Gm]
[Dm] [A] a Portuguese [Dm]
saloon, the [Gm] flies circling [A] [Dm] around the room, you'll soon [A] forget [D] the tune that [Gm] you play.
Cause
[A] that [Dm] is the part [A] you throw [Dm] away.
[A] Oh that is the part you throw [G]
[Dm] away.
