C         Am      Dm            G        C
I was the one who taught her to kiss the way 
                    G
that she kisses you now.
    C            E       F
And you know the way she touches your cheek,
      Am7          G
well, I taught her how.

C         Am      Dm            G        C
I was the one who taught her to cry when she 
                    G
wants you under her spell.
    C            E                F
The sight of the tears drives you out of your 
      C G             C
mind, I taught her so well.

CHORUS:
    F            Fm             C          B
And then one day I had my lover as perfect as 
      C
could be.

and it was all for me.

I'll never know who taught her to lie, now that 
              G
it's over and done.
C               E           F
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart..
C G       C
I was the one.

and it was all for me.
