 Em           Am              Em     F
He don't know I call him the teacher
 Em          Am              Em F
He had hard lessons for the kid
      Em                 B
I get I put you through hell
          C                Bm
He put me under the same spell
    Am             B        Em
He lied man, he stressed me out

 Em           Am         Em       F
You loved me like a precious gift
     Em          Am         Em     F
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
           Em               B
You would tell me your heartaches
      C               Bm
Now I understand the pain
     Am       B        Em
Oh why did I let you drown

 Am   Bm          Em
Baby would you believe 
That I've been broken
 Am      Bm  Em
You say memories 
Play again and again
Am          Bm            Em
 I see the reel now it's real to me
       Em     G           F#
I gave up gold for grains of sand
  F                  Em F
Slipping through my hand
                     Em F
Slipping through my hand

 Em          Am         Em          F
You had no problems with commitment
 Em             Am        Em       F
Like a king is loyal to what's his
            Em            B
You looked for a ring to fit
                C            Bm
While I played wifey with a kid
       Am     B        Em
Oh the irony makes me sick

 Em          Am         Em     F
He tried to make me look crazy
 Em           Am           Em        F
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
          Em           B
I laugh when I think about
                C                  Bm
His face when truth nearly spilled out
    Am               B        Em
He looked like me I get that now

 Am   Bm          Em
Baby would you believe 
That I've been broken
 Am      Bm  Em
You say memories 
Play again and again
Am          Bm            Em
 I see the reel now it's real to me
       Em     G           F#
I gave up gold for grains of sand
  F                  Em F
Slipping through my hand
                     Em F
Slipping through my hand
                     Em F
Slipping through my hand
                     Em F
Slipping through my hand

Am Bm Em
Oooooooh
Am Bm Em
Oooooooh

 Am   Bm          Em
Baby would you believe 
That I've been broken
 Am      Bm  Em
You say memories 
Play again and again
Am          Bm            Em
 I see the reel now it's real to me
       Em     G           F#
I gave up gold for grains of sand
  F                  C Bm
Slipping through my hand
                   C   Bm
Slipping through my hand
            C             Bm
Slipping through my hand, oooh
                   C   Bm
Slipping through my hand

                     C           Bm
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
                     C           Bm
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
                     C           Bm
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
                     C           Bm
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
