Briston Maroney “Fool’s Gold”


Intro:
A  D  Bm  D

Verse 1:
A
I hate to say it, but I think I'm getting too old
D

The conversations that my mind won’t even let me hold
Bm
Your attention isn't worth my weight in fool's gold
D
Wanna let go, can I let go?
A
Started talking and you couldn’t look in my eyes
D
Told me stories 'bout you drinking on the 4th of July
Bm
Every little truth, it turned into a big lie
D                      Bm
Why do I try? Why do I try?

Pre-Chorus:
                        E
If I hold my breath 'til I fall asleep
    Bm                       E
Will it be there when I wake?

Chorus:
A            Bm        D
Maybe we can take some time
         A                 Bm      D
Move out west where we can do this right
       A               Bm    D
Broken clock still keeps the time
      A               Bm       D
Who says I've got to stay in a line?
       F#m           A    D
I'm so sick of these city lights
     F#m          A         D
Everything here's black and white
        F#m        A      D
I don't know where I went wrong
      F#m    A     D
But I surely did tonight

Verse 2:
A
It just me or is this music playing too loud?
D
All the kids dressed in black really getting me down
Bm
Mother warned about hanging with the wrong crowd
D
Gotta get out, gotta get out
A
Don't give a fuck if you intended to ignore me
D
Wish that I could close my eyes and just go back to sleep
Bm
That’s your best friend and she’s passed out in the backseat
D
She needs you more than me

Pre-Chorus:
Bm                   E
If I fall asleep with my hands held tight
Bm                         E
They'd be there when I wake

Chorus:
A            Bm        D
Maybe we can take some time
         A                 Bm      D
Move out west where we can do this right
       A               Bm    D
Broken clock still keeps the time
      A               Bm       D
Who says I've got to stay in a line?
       F#m           A    D
I'm so sick of these city lights
     F#m          A         D
Everything here's black and white
          F#m     A     D
And she’s calling me to bed
      F#m      A        D
But I will not sleep tonight

Instrumental:
A  D  Bm  D  x3

Outro:
N.C.
I have a tendency to overthink in my head
N.C.
Let’s just listen to some music and go back to bed
N.C.
Probably didn't hear a single word that I said
N.C.                         Bm
Just forget it until the morn
