[Verse 1]
B G#m E B
I once held her in my arms,
B G#m E F#
She said she would always stay.
G# C#m
But I was cruel,
B D#m E
I treated her like a fool,
B E B E
I threw it all away.
[Chorus]
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,
And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I must have been mad,
I never knew what I had,
Until I threw it all away.
[Bridge]
E F# B G#m
Love is all there is, it makes the world go 'round,
E F# G#
Love and only love, it can't be denied.
E F#
No matter what you think about it
B D#m G#m
You just won't be able to do without it.
A E F#
Take a tip from one who's tried.
[Chorus 2]
So if you find someone that gives you all of her love,
Take it to your heart, don't let it stray,
For one thing that's certain,
You will surely be a-hurtin',
If you throw it all away
B F# B
If you throw it all away.
