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