    E                    A    E   
I'm 34 years old now and I've come
 B7
 to you
A    E                     A E  
Baby I don't even know how I got 
 B7
through
         A
From the first kiss in the 
schoolyard
        D    A              B7
Til the last heart broke in two
A        E
I didn't know it would be so hard
A        E      B7
Learning how to love you

There was a life that I was living 
in some cracked rear view
Where no future was given to a heart
 untrue
Still I thought that I was so strong
That my will could force me through
I didn't know it would be so long
Learning how to love you

Learning how to love you

F#                     E    A   
 I might have never realised the
         E
 courage in your kiss
A              D      A       
 And the sweet forgiveness in your 
B7
eyes

Continues after the ad

A      E  etc
Babe I know you've walked a mile in 
someone else's shoes
Maybe you've left some faces smiling
 walking off your blues
And I don't pretend to know how you 
ever saw it through
Cause I only got to where I am now
Learning how to love you

Learning how to love you
Learning how to love you
Love you

I'm going to introduce  some  
notation  for  this  song (and this 
song
only), since the pattern of  playing
  is  much the same throughout the
song.
For this song,                  +   
    +
