G        B            Em
I'm not proud, I was wrong
        C                 G
And the truth is hard to take
        B             Em
I felt sure we had enough
         C                G
But our love went overboard
         B             Em
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
          C                    G
I've been trying to reach your shore
         B                  Em
Waves of doubt keep drowning me
Am7 Bm7 C7M                   Am9
All the dreams that we were building
B7              Em
We never fulfilled them
          C7M              Am9
Could be better, should be better for
B7/5+           E D
Lessons in love 
 
For restless eyes, egos burn

and the mould is hard to break

Now we've waded in too deep

And love is overboard

Heavy hearts, token words

All the hopes I've ever had

Fade like footprints in the sand
Am7 Bm7 C7M                  Am9
All the homes that we were building
B7           Em
We never lived in
         C7M               Am9
Could be better, should be better
B7/5+        Em
Lessons in love
      C7M             Am9
If we lose the time before us
B7                 Em
The future will ignore us
         C7M               Am9
We could use it, we should use it
B7/5+       E     D C
Lessons in love   
              E   D A7
Lost without love  
C          G          F             C        D
Lessons in love, when will you ever learn?   
           G                  F               C     D
Lessons in love, when there's nowhere left to turn  
           G           F               C     D
Lessons in love, don't let your spirit burn  

Lessons in (G)love, I'll (F)wait till you re(C)turn  (D)
