Verse 1:
         D
They say all of the things that we must endure
G
Make us grow stronger and more self-assured
        D
But the hurt and the pain it never grows old

Each heartache we heal takes a piece of our soul

I'm a fool, I'm a goddamn fool, oh I am a fool, baby for you

Verse 2:
    D
The first time I lost you I lost myself
       G
In the pages of books laying there on my shelf
  D
I lost you in Paris and I lost you in Rome
      G
And I lost you again when we got home
      Bm                  A               G              D
I'm a fool, I'm a goddamn fool, oh I am a fool, baby for you

Verse 3:
    D
Now tell me again why you hide from the world
         G
Like the rarest of gems, like a natural pearl
    D
The love that you give can't handle the light
   G
It blooms in the dark like a queen of the night
         Bm                     A                  G               D
You're a fool, you're a goddamn fool, oh you are a fool, just like me

Verse 4:
        D
Now I'm running through these streets in the cold autumn rain
       G
Like a drunk lovesick fool I keep chanting your name
        D
But the words that you hear, you’ve heard them before
G
This time you tell yourself they must mean more
         Bm                     A                  G               D
You're a fool, you're a goddamn fool, oh you are a fool, just like me

Outro:
      G
And I know that you know, that I know it ain't true
       D
As you stand there so calmly just preaching your truth
      Bm
And I wish that I knew what It was that we felt
       A
Was it love, was it lust, was it something else?
      G              D
I'm a fool, baby for you
      G              D
I'm a fool, baby for you
         G                D
Always a fool, always for you
