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