Intro
G Cm A# Dm D#
[Verse 1]
A# Gm D# A#
I once held her in my arms,
A# Gm D# F
She said she would always stay.
G Cm
But I was cruel,
A# Dm D#
I treated her like a fool,
A# D# A# D#
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]
D# F A# Gm
Love is all there is, it makes the world go 'round,
D# F G
Love and only love, it can't be denied.
D# F
No matter what you think about it
A# Dm Gm
You just won't be able to do without it.
Ab D# 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
A# F A#
If you throw it all away.
