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