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
