G C G D7
[Verse 1]
G
I once had a true love
C
I thought it would last
G
How could I know
D7
That it would go so fast
G
A love like a holiday
C
Tender and kind
G D7 G
And I let it whither on the vine
[Verse 2]
G
Where did it run to
C
Where did it go
G
How could I let it
D7
Slip through my fingers so
G
For it was a real love
C
And rare and fine
G D7 G
And I let it whither on the vine
[Chorus]
C
But the hardest pill
To swallow is still
G
Not the reason for your leaving
But the way I let it happen
C
Now I'm counting the cost
G
Of the loss of what was once mine
D7 G
That I let whither on the vine
[Verse 3]
G
I once had a true love
C
I thought it would last
G
How could I know
D7
That it would go so fast
G
A love like a holiday
C
Tender and kind
G D7 G
And I let it whither on the vine
