[Verse]
I was the one
C Am Dm7 G7-9
I was the one who taught her to kiss
C Am Dm G7
the way that she kisses him now
C C7 F Fm
and you know the way she touches your cheek
C Am D7 G7
well, I taught her how
C Am Dm7 G7-9
I was the one who taught her to cry
C Am Dm7 G7
when she wants you under her spell
C C7 F Fm
The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind
C Dm7 G7 C C7
I taught her so well
[Pre-Chorus]
F Fm
And then one day, I had my love
C G7-9 C
as perfect as could be
D7
She lived, she love, she laughed she cried
G7
and it was all for me
[Chorus]
But I'll never know who taught her to lie
and now that it's over and done
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart
C Dm7 G7 C F7 C
I was the one
