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.

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.

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:

And then one day, I had my love

as perfect as could be.
    D7     
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried..
G7
and it was all for me.
