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