Intro E  B7 G  C 

E                G 
This is a big mistake 
E                       G 
 And very soon you’ll know 
E                     G 
 Why your own family told you not to go 
E                        G 
 But everybody said to stay 
C                            B7                                C 
 How could I ever think that I could feel the same passion as you when I  
                B7 
 know it’s not true 
E                          G 
 It’s in my thoughts and time 
E                  G 
 I’m on the edge seeing 
E                    G  
 Just how dedicated you should be 
E                      G  
 How faithless you’ve become 
C                            B7                              C            
 How could I ever think that I could see the same sunset as you 
                      B7 
 When I know that I can’t 
C                                B7 
 Why did I ever want to be like that 
E                G 
(All I love is gone) 
 So wrapped up with what you can’t have 
E               G  
(All I love is gone) 
 You don’t notice what you had 
E               G  
(All I love is gone) 
 So wrapped up with what you can’t have 
E                G  
(All I love is gone) 
                           C 
 You don’t notice all is love 

Interlude: C E  

E                G 
This is a big mistake 
E                       G 
 And very soon you’ll know 
E                      G 
 Why your own family told you not to go 
E                        G 
 But everybody said to stay 

E                G 
(All I love is gone) 
 So wrapped up with what you can’t have 
E                 G 
 (All I love is gone) 
 You don’t notice what you had 
E               G  
(All I love is gone) 
 So wrapped up with what you can’t have 
E                G  
(All I love is gone) 
 You don’t notice all is love
