F#m Bm F#m G
He don't know I call him the teacher
F#m Bm F#m G
He had hard lessons for the kid
F#m C#
I get I put you through hell
D C#m
He put me under the same spell
Bm C# F#m
He lied man, he stressed me out
F#m Bm F#m G
You loved me like a precious gift
F#m Bm F#m G
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
F#m C#
You would tell me your heartaches
D C#m
Now I understand the pain
Bm C# F#m
Oh why did I let you drown
Bm C#m F#m
Baby would you believe
That I've been broken
Bm C#m F#m
You say memories
Play again and again
Bm C#m F#m
I see the reel now it's real to me
F#m A G#
I gave up gold for grains of sand
G F#m G
Slipping through my hand
F#m G
Slipping through my hand
F#m Bm F#m G
You had no problems with commitment
F#m Bm F#m G
Like a king is loyal to what’s his
F#m C#
You looked for a ring to fit
D C#m
While I played wifey with a kid
Bm C# F#m
Oh the irony makes me sick
F#m Bm F#m G
He tried to make me look crazy
F#m Bm F#m G
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
F#m C#
I laugh when I think about
D C#m
His face when truth nearly spilled out
Bm C# F#m
He looked like me I get that now
Bm C#m F#m
Baby would you believe
That I've been broken
Bm C#m F#m
You say memories
Play again and again
Bm C#m F#m
I see the reel now it's real to me
F#m A G#
I gave up gold for grains of sand
G F#m G
Slipping through my hand
F#m G
Slipping through my hand
F#m G
Slipping through my hand
F#m G
Slipping through my hand
Bm C#m F#m
Oooooooh
Bm C#m F#m
Oooooooh
Bm C#m F#m
Baby would you believe

You say memories
Play again and again

I see the reel now it's real to me

I gave up gold for grains of sand
G D C#m
Slipping through my hand
D C#m
Slipping through my hand
D C#m
Slipping through my hand, oooh
D C#m
Slipping through my hand
D C#m
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
D C#m
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
D C#m
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
D C#m
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
