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