[Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] I [Am] was the one [Dm] who taught [G] her to kiss [C] the way that [Am] she kisses [Dm] you now.
[G] _ [C] And you know the
way [F] she [Fm] touches your cheek.
[C] _
[Am] Well, I taught [Dm] her how.

[C] when she wants [Am] you under [Dm] her spell.
[G] _ [C] The sight of her tears [F] drives you [Fm] out of your mind.
[C] _
[G] I taught her [C] so well.

she loved, she laughed, she cried.
