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