Intro: G  
GThere was a time when we were living getting lost in life
GThe things we'd Cridicule to what we'd glorify
CFrom every Gprison, every passion, every terror, every dream
GTo all the Cturbulence and termoils on which we'd feed
CBut then the Gburden of your beauty and your innocence
GTempted Cyou away till we had nothing left
EmWhy did you choke all my love away?
GDid you choke all my love away?
EmWhy did you throw it all, throw it all away in the Gend
GYou played it like you wanted something more from me
GWhen you were just a Cgirl and everything to me
CWhen we were Gstaring through the blackness from the bleakness of it all
GAnd now i Clook at you and realize that I've moved on
EmWhy did you choke all my love away?
GDid you choke all my love away?
EmWhy did you throw it all, throw it all away Gagain
Am G Am G
G C G C
EmWhy did you choke all my love away?
GDid you choke all my love away?
EmWhy did you throw it all, throw it all away in the Gend
EmWhy did you choke all my love away?
GDid you choke all my love away?
EmWhy did you throw it all, throw it all away Gagain
