F C G With the world in the palm of his hands F C G Slipping through his fingers just like grains of sand F C G He don’t know his hourglass is losing time F C G Till she run out of patience and leaves him far behind
Chorus: F C G Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way F C G Before they understand the way they feel F C G Some lovers are slower than others F C G Some will come around and some never will F C G If only she had a dime every time he’s done her wrong F C G Or for every one wondering why she’s still holding on F C G She could buy that rodeo and shut it down F C G Along with every honky tonkin’ bar in town Chorus: F C G Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way F C G Before they understand the way they feel F C G Some lovers are slower than others F C G Some will come around and some never will F G It may be his fault but she’s still one to blame F D For taking him back and playing his foolish games Chorus: F C G Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way F C G Before they understand the way they feel F C G Some lovers are slower than others F C G Some will come around and some never will
