Teaching Me How To Love You

F  G C


[Verse]

C               F
Her name was Sarah Jean
C          G
It was a night like this
C               F
In front of the Dairy Queen
G
Where she gave me my first kiss
G               F
I was just ten years old
C    G              Am
So I never knew
F               G               C
She was teaching me how to love you


[Verse]

C               F
After the high school dance
C          G
In my old man's car
C           F
Holding Carol Anne
C         G
I tried to go too far
F
When she said no
C       G             Am
I didn't have a clue
F               G               C
She was teaching me how to love you


[Chorus]

G               C
Every hand we hold
F               C
Every bridge we burn
G       C
Every story told
Dm
Was another lesson learned

[VERSE]
C          F
A few years ago
C          G
I met Jill one night
C               F
Man I loved her so
C             G
But I didn't treat her right
F
But she left me there
C           G           Am
With my heart broken in two
F               G               C
She was teaching me how to love you


[Instrumental]

C F G Am F G C


[Chorus]

G               C
Every hand we hold
F               C
Every bridge we burn
G       C
Every story told
Dm
Is another lesson learned


[Verse]

C               F
So if I should glance
C          G
In your rearview mirror
C               F
At every failed romance
C       G
That brought you here
G       F
Honey, I can't be hurt
C    G     Am
By what I see
F               G               Am
They were teaching you how to love me
F               G               C
They were teaching you how to love me
