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