Remove AdsLEARNING HOW TO LOVE YOU - John Hiatt
-------------------------------------
|E | | | |A E |B7 | | | | x2
E A E B7I'm 34 years old now and I've come to you
A E A E B7Baby I don't even know how I got through
AFrom the first kiss in the schoolyard
D A B7Til the last heart broke in two
A EI didn't know it would be so hard
A E B7Learning how to love you
|A/E |E |A/E |E |C#m | |B F#m E|A B | x2
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 E I might have never realised the courage in your kiss
A D A B7 And the sweet forgiveness in your eyes
A E etcBabe 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
