I Threw The Rest Away [F] - Tracy Lawrence
[Intro]
[F]
[Verse 1]
I [F] met him in a dive down in New Orleans,
I [F] recognized his handsome face,
It was [F] none of my business but I had to know,
What he was [F] doing in this kind of place,
Cause he [Bb] used to have money used to have honeys,
He [Bb] used to be society's prince,
But he [F] still wore a grin when I sat beside him,
And [C] ask where all that money [F] went,
|[Chorus]
|[Bb] He said [C] some was spent on gambling,
|a lot was spent on women, a [F] little on some good Cabernet,
|[Bb] [C] Three or four divorces, at least as many horses,
|that [F] never left the startin' gates,
|[Am] Diamond rings and furs, swamp land in New Jersey,
|That [Dm] week I spent a [C] year in L.[Bb]A.
|You know, I [G] hate to admit it,
|[C] [NC] I threw the rest [F] away.
[Instrumental]
[F]
[Verse 2]
He said [F] money don't mean nothing is this game of life,
It's [F] just a way of keeping score
[F] Show me a man who's got everything
I'll [F] show you one who wants even more
Well, so [Bb] smoke em' when you got em'
cause [Bb] when you hit bottom, you gotta have a reason to smile,
[F] You can have a little piece of the rock,
I'll [C] take a little peace of [F] mind,
|[Chorus]
|[Bb] He said [C] some was spent on gambling,
|a lot was spent on women, a [F] little on some good Cabernet,
|[Bb] [C] Three or four divorces, at least as many horses,
|that [F] never left the startin' gates,
|[Am] Diamond rings and furs, swamp land in New Jersey,
