        E5       D5       A5         C5       G5

        G5       B5       E5         C5
 
G5        B5            E5
I'm not proud, I was wrong
        C5                 G5
And the truth is hard to take
        B5             E5
I felt sure we had enough
         C5                G5
But our love went overboard
         B5             E5
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
          C5                    G5
I've been trying to reach your shore
         B5                  E5
Waves of doubt keep drowning me
A5 B5 C5                   A5
All the dreams that we were building
B5              E5
We never fulfilled them
          C5              A5
Could be better, should be better for
B/5+           E5 D5
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
A5 B5 C5                  A5
All the homes that we were building
B5           E5
We never lived in
         C5               A5
Could be better, should be better
B/5+        E5
Lessons in love
      C5             A5
If we lose the time before us
B5                 E5
The future will ignore us
         C5               A5
We could use it, we should use it
B/5+       E5     D5 C5
Lessons in love   
              E5   D5 A5
Lost without love  
C5          G5          F5             C5        D5
Lessons in love, when will you ever learn?   
           G5                  F5               C5     D5
Lessons in love, when there's nowhere left to turn  
           G5           F5               C5     D5
Lessons in love, don't let your spirit burn  

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

All  the    dreams
             A5        B5
that we were building   
             E5
We never lived them

The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could lose it
