C           Am F         C
I once held her in my arms,
             Am           F  G
She said she would always stay.
A          Dm    C                     F  C
But I was cruel,  I treated her like a fool,
F                C F
I threw it all away.
C          Am        F                    C
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,
                   Am             F G
And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
A                 Dm           C           F  C
I must have been mad, I never knew what I had,
      F                C F
Until I threw it all away.
                  G
Love is all there is,
   C                   A
It makes the world go 'round,
F                G                   A
Love and only love, it can't be denied.
F                  G
No matter what you think about it
C                         Am
You just won't be able to do without it.
Bb                              F  G
Take a tip from one who's tried.
C              Am      F                           C
So if you find someone that gives you all of her love.

                       Am                F G
Take it to your heart, don't let it stray,
A                    Dm                C          F
For one thing that's certain, You will surely be a-hurtin'
C               F     C  F C
If you throw it all away.
                G7    C
If you throw it all away.
