[Verse 1]
A     D        A          E
Throw away the thing that tells you
A      D         A      E
Not to throw the thing away
A         D      A       E
You'll forget to rue the day
    A              D         A      E
You went ahead and threw the thing away

[Chorus]
F#m         A/E
Nine secret steps
       D          A/C#
To the key to the door that you'll
Bm           D/A         E
Throw in the well and let go
   E9       E        E9
Of all your thwarted dreams
    E       E9    E
And visions of success

[Verse 2]
F#m   Bm        F#m/A            Fdim7
Amputate the thought that says
    F#m             Bm   F#m/A      E
You shouldn't ever amputate a thought
F#m   Bm        F#m/A            Fdim7
You'll be overwrought until
    F#m             Bm   F#m/A      E
You go ahead and amputate the thought

[Chorus]
F#m         A/E
Nine secret steps
     D          A/C#
To unlock the potential
   Bm        D/A
To forgo the knowledge
   E        E9   E         E9
Of what can be attained as long
   E         E9   E
As nothing's ever gained

[Bridge]
F#                         F#aug          Bm   Bm/A
I can't tell you what's in secret step five
         C         C/B       C/A    C/G D E7
You will know when you're no longer alive

[Verse 3]
A           D         A    E
Inhume your gloom within a tomb
   A         D      A      E
Confine your mind behind a line
A            D       A         E
There's only doom outside your room
A            D      A      E
Confine your mind behind a line

[Chorus]
F#m         A/E
Nine secret steps
       D          A/C#
To the key to the door that you'll
Bm           D/A         E
Throw in the well and let go
   E9       E        E9
Of all your thwarted dreams
    E     E9       E        E9
Let go of all your thwarted dreams
    E     E9       E        E9
Let go of all your thwarted dreams
   E        E9       E
Of all your thwarted dreams
