1.     I’m not proud, I was wrong, and the truth is hard to take,

             B7                   Em                  C                       G

    I felt sure we had enough, but our love went overboard.

                   B7            Em                   C                               G

    Lifeboat lies lost at sea, I’ve been trying to reach your shore,

                      B7                           Em

    waves of doubt keep drowning me.

 

               C                            Am        - B7                   Em

All the dreams that we were building,       we never fulfilled them,

                 C                        Am     - B7                        E

could be better, should be better          for lessons in love.

 

     G                 B7            Em                    C                      G

2. For restless eyes egos burn, and the mold is hard to break,

                        B7              Em          C                  G

    now we’ve waded into deep, and love is overboard.

                  B7                Em                 C                   G

    Heavy hearts, token words, all the hopes I ever had,

                    B7                     Em

    fade like footprints in the sand.

 

             C                              Am        - B7                Em

All the homes that we were building,        we never lived in,

                 C                        Am    - B7                   Em

could be better, should be better,         lessons in love.

          C                      Am      - B7                           Em

If we lose the time before us,        the future will ignore us,

                   C                      Am     - B7                     E

we should use it, we could use it,          lessons in love.

 

                                                    E     - D - A

+  E - D - Am      +  Lost without love.
