[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G                       C
I had it all and let it go
D                        G   D
I'm a man who's come to know
Em
The loving warmth that
    A
 he remembers
C
As having come from
       Dsus4 D
dying embers
G               A
The images that I recall
C
Perhaps they don't
         Bm
resemble yours at all
Am                           Bm
I spoke too loud, I ran too fast
                     C
Until you gave up at last
                Dsus4 D
And it hurts to know
                        C G
I had it all and let it go

[Verse 2]
G
Now all our friends know
             C
that you're gone
D
They're telling me,
              G  D
life must go on
Em                        A
They ask me out and I say never
C                        Dsus4 D
I have no interest whatsoever
G                    A
Cause I'm a bore who may as well
C
Stay locked insidе his
        Bm
dreary prison cell
Am                           Bm
The pеrfect place for such a fool
                       C
Without you my life is cruel
                Dsus4 D
And it hurts to know
                        C G
I had it all and let it go

[Verse 3]
G                          C
I guess I'll learn to live again
D
And I'll find a way to
          G   D
 cope and then
Em                   A
As if it wasn't all about you
C
I'll meet the world
         Dsus4 D
again without you
G
Those dizzy heights,

   A
I call it bliss
C                            Bm
And now to cope is all there is
C                            Bm
Oh God, dear God, I miss you baby
            C
It hurts to know
D                       G
I had it all and let it go
