 Bm                                       Bm/A               E
It was so easy that I started thinkin' somethin' had to change.
Bm                                                 Bm/A          E
The gift of love was somethin' that I thought I'd go out and exchange.

Bm           Bm/A       E
I didn't realize how much you meant to me.
Bm           Bm/A         E
And now you're locked up with a brand new set of keys.

D           C                G
You said I might regret the day I let you go
D           C                G
I'd wind up stranded like a washed up gigolo
D           C                G
I'd get more static than a broken radio
D           C                  D
You were the right one all along...ooh.

[Chorus]
           Em                    A
'Cause I didn't know I had it
                D  Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
'Til I threw it away.
          Em                     A
I've been holdin' everything except for love
Bbdim7                          Bm Bm/A
I wish I had you back today
        Em
Oh, I didn't know I had it

Bm
Each day my hindsight just gets better
        Bm/A                E
But I know that love is blind.
Bm                                        Bm/A               E
You were the only ray of sunshine I was ever gonna find.

Bm           Bm/A                  E
You were the magic and I made you disappear.
Bm              Bm/A               E
Now I'd give everything I own to have you here.

D            C                  G
You told me I was gonna make a big mistake
D               C                          G
I didn't know how many times my heart could break.
D                C                        G
Now in the middle of the night, I'm still awake.
D                  C            D
Now all I can think of is you...ooh, ooh, ooh.

[Chorus]
           Em                    A
'Cause I didn't know I had it

         G             A                D Dsus4 D
Now I know in my heart, I threw it away.
          G                        A
I've been holdin' onto everything except for love

Bm          C#m D E
I wish I had you back today

Oh, I didn't know I had it
