C         Am      Dm7           G7
I was the one who taught her to kiss,
    C            Am         Dm    G7 
the way that she kisses you now..
    C            C7      F            Fm
and you know the way she touches your cheek?
C       Am     D7  G7
Well, I taught her how.

#2.
C         Am      Dm7           G7
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..

CHORUS:
    F               Fm
And then one day, I had my love
   C       G7       C
as perfect as could be.
    D7     
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried..
G7
and it was all for me.

#3.
C          Am        Dm7           G7
I'll never know, who taught her to lie..
    C             Am       Dm7  G7
and now that it's over and done.
C               C7              F        Fm
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
C Dm7 G7  C     
I was the one.

CHORUS:
    F               Fm
And then one day, I had my love
   C       G7       C
as perfect as could be.
    D7     
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried..
G7
and it was all for me.

and now that it's over and done.

Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
