Stormzy - Lessons

[Intro]
Dm C C Dm C Am G G
(2x)

Dm C
I knew a woman more wonderful than a Disney one
C Dm C
I lost my heart, I just wondered if you could give me one
Am G
I hit you back, you know, lately I’ve had some busy ones
G
I been getting this money just on my Lizzy ones
Dm C
And now we’re acting like children, it’s so pathetic
C Dm C
I was trying to reach out for ages, I need my credit
Am G
There’s a couple lines in our script I think we should edit
G
Why you gotta bitch all the time? Just read my message

Dm C
Shit, fucking hell, I’m such a handful
C Dm C
On one hand I’m pissed, but on the other hand I’m thankful
Am G
Times when it was bliss and there were times it was in shambles
G
Times when it was lit and other times we lit the candles
Dm C
You’re probably reminiscing when you could be hella dissing
C Dm C
Never been the type to be so reckless with decisions
Am G
Swear you tried to tell me, but it’s like I never listen
G
And I was meant to share your vision
Dm C
I was meant to be your rider, put a bit of Henny on my rider
C Dm C
You can stay at home, I’ll send a driver
Am G
I’ll be your provider, no, I’m not around but it’s a minor
G
Cah I don’t like the spotlight and you don’t like it neither
Dm C
But that was then and this is now
C Dm C
I was pacing ‘round my kitchen like, “This shit is foul”
Am G
I done the dirt and then I figured that you’ll dig it out
G
But that’s a coward move, I guess you got me figured out

I know you’ll never listen now

[Chorus]
Dm C
You taught me love (You taught me love)
C Dm C
Oh, what a gift (Oh, what a gift)
Am G
I know that it’s hard (I know that it’s hard)
G
Too hard to forgive
Dm C
And to be honest, if I were you
C Dm C
I’d be the same way
Am G
To be honest, if I were you
G
Then I’d be unforgiving, too

[Verse 2]
Dm C
Fast forward now, my nephew’s still asking for his Auntie Maya
Dm C Dm
Guess this is the karma for what I done to Maya
Am G
I just stood and let it burn, I couldn’t done the fire
G
Lord, I pray you make it easy, that’s my one desire
Dm C
God loves a trial, I can’t even fathom what I probably had you going through
Dm C Dm
You cannot imagine how I’m sorry, man, I’m showing you
Am G
Now I haven’t even got the luxury of knowing you
G
We was even meant to share a seed and let it grow in you

N.C.
I can’t even look you in the eye, that’s ‘cause of shame

Now you’re tryna block me out your mind, that’s ‘cause of pain

Greatest love I ever knew, I poured it down the drain
N.C.
Maybe it’s the only way we both call it a day

You gave me the world and then I gave you disrespect

Hand on my heart, this is my biggest of regrets
N.C.
Thought I’d say it here than rather fling it in a text

Until you’re ready to forgive I’m always wishing you the best but

[Chorus]
Dm C
You taught me love (You taught me love)
Dm C Dm
Oh, what a gift (Oh, what a gift)
Am G
I know that it’s hard (I know that it’s hard)
G
Too hard to forgive
Dm C
And to be honest, if I were you
Dm C Dm
I’d be the same way
Am G
To be honest, if I were you
G
Then I’d be unforgiving, too
Dm C
You taught me love (You taught me love)
Dm C Dm
Oh, what a gift (Oh, what a gift)
Am G
I know that it’s hard (I know that it’s hard)
G
Too hard to forgive
Dm C
And to be honest, if I were you
Dm C Dm
I’d be the same way
Am G
To be honest, if I were you
G
Then I’d be unforgiving, too
