Capo 2
C Em Am
Teach me how to love you like I wrote
F G C
And say it like I mean it when I don't
C Em Am
Teach me how to hold you in my arms
F G C
Without squeezing too damn tight and causing harm
C Em Am
I'll learn not to look at you with scorn
F G C
If you promise to never have been born
C Em Am
By all means give me lessons in my ways
F G C
But damn it don't expect me to change
C Em Am
Mould me to the man that I should be
F G C
But don't consider that man to be free
C Em Am
How am I expected to behave?
F G C
When I'm alone with myself everyday
F G C
And I'll never love
Em F
You enough
E Am
My love
F G C
And I'll never hold
Em F
You close
E Am G
Enough
C Em Am
Teach me how to love you like I wrote
F G C
And say it like I mean it when I don't.
