[Intro]
| C Am | Dm G |

[Verse 1]
C         Am      Dm            G
I was the one who taught her to kiss
    C            Am         G
The way that she kisses you now
    C            Caug    F            D#dim
And you know the way she touches your cheek
C                    G
  Well, I taught her how

[Verse 2]
C         Am      Dm            G
I was the one who taught her to cry
     C             Am        G
When she wants you under her spell
    C            Caug             F           D#dim
The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind
C   G             C     C7
  I taught her so well

[Middle 8]
   F
And then one day
Fm                C       B7       C
 I had my love as perfect as could be
    D7
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried
D7                | G7 |
And it was all for me

[Verse 3]
C          Am  Dm                 G
I'll never know who taught her to lie
C             Am       G
Now that it's over and done
C               Caug        F            D#dim
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
C   G       C
  I was the one

[Middle 8}
   F
And then one day
Fm                C       B7       C
 I had my love as perfect as could be
    D7
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried
D7                | G7 |
And it was all for me

[Verse 4]
C          Am  Dm                 G
I'll never know who taught her to lie
C             Am       G
Now that it's over and done
C               Caug        F            D#dim
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
C 
  I was the one ...
