Birdy - Second Hand News Chords

[intro]
G#  C#  G#  C#7  C#6

[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
       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

[instrumental]
G#  C#  G#  C#7  C#6

[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?
                 A#m
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
                  G#    C#
I'd leave it all behind
                G#      C#
I've got nothing to lose
               Fm             C#
And I know you heard what you heard
               D#
But it doesn't mean it's true
          Fm           C#
No, don't throw it all away
      D#
On second hand news

[middle 8]
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

[instrumental]
A#m  Cm  C#  D#

[chorus]
           G#    C#
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
                  G#    C#
I'd leave it all behind
                G#      C#
I've got nothing to lose
               Fm             C#
And I know you heard what you heard
               D#
But it doesn't mean it's true
          Fm           C#
No, don't throw it all away
      D#
On second hand news
          Fm           C#
No, don't throw it all away
      D#
On second hand news
