C         Am      Dm             G
I was the one who taught her to kiss
     C            Am         G
The way that she kisses you now
     C            C+    F             D#dim
And you know the way she touches your cheek
C               G
Well, I taught her how

I was the one who taught her to cry
When she wants you under her spell
The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind
I taught her so well

Chorus:
F
And then one day
Fm           C           B7        C
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

I'll never know who taught her to lie
Now that it's over and done
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one

Chorus

I'll never know who taught her to lie
Now that it's over and done
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one
