Throwing In the Towel (from The Outsiders)

Intro: D

Darrel:
 D
Soda, I'm really a mess

Every night I worry myself to sleep
                           G
While you're watching cartoons
                          Em7
There ain't nothing I can do for you

                       D
I know that Ponyboy's really got a damn good heart

Something 'bout him that really could take him far
                        G
But I keep holding him down

I've run this family right into the ground

Em7        D     G
Maybe you'd be  best without me

D
I don't know what else to say

I lost our brother and I lost my way
           G
I think a fool could'a done better

Maybe I've been afraid to say

      D
That I'm just not cut out for this

Just another failure on a growing list
          G
And it's harder now than ever

It's more than I can take

                              Em
There ain't no one to bail me out
                            G
There ain't no saving this now
                             D
I think I'm throwing in the towel

Sodapop:
D
On the days when you feel like you're torn in two

Making dinner, paying bills that are overdue
                        G
You think that I don't see?
                          Em7
It'd go to hell if it was left up to me
             G                 D
And I don't know what we would do if you were not around

The one to keep the ship afloat when its going down

                G
Darrel, I need you

And anyone can see that Pony does too
   D        Em
I know you love him
        G
That's all you gotta do

    D
And I don't know what else to say

I know you feel like you've lost your way
       G
But I think you're doing better

Better than you know

Darrel:
D
If he comes back, there’s a price to pay

What if they lock our brother away?

Sodapop:
       G
There ain’t no way of knowin’

We've gotta get our brother home

Darrel, sodapop, & ponyboy:
             D                           G
This is the darkest hour of the darkest night
 D
Looking up ahead, you can't see no light
         G
But the time is now or never

There ain't no letting go

Sodapop:
                                 Em
Know you might feel like you’re givin’ out
                       G
We need you more than ever now
                      D
Don't go throwing in the towel
                         Em
I know your head is full of doubt
              D           G
But brother, that's what love is all about
                      D
Don't go throwing in the towel

Darrel, sodapop, & ponyboy:
          G                   D               Em
When you love someone that's all that you can do
                                D
There ain't no throwing in the towel
