       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

        Cm                     C#
'Cause these days I'm self-destructive
       G#
The way I love
   Cm              C#
I push away every chance
        G#
'Cause it's never enough

    D#                     A#m
My love, you can take the things they say
               C#
As the bitter truth
                   A#m
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
                    Fm           C#
I would burn these bridges I've built
                 D#
And find my way back to you
            Fm          C#
No, don't throw it all away
      D#
On second hand news

Been a broken machine
Since the day you've been gone
On a loop in a dream
Did you think I'd move on?

You can take the things they say
As the bitter truth
But don't throw it all away
On second hand news

Chorus:
'Cause if I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
I'd leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

A#m
Crying silent tears in the next door room
Cm
'Cause everybody's here but you
C#
So I wrote you out this message
D#
But I stopped myself from sending it off

Chorus:
If I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
Leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news
