Fools Game chords by Glen Hansard

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

    C majorC
It's a fool's, fool's game

        FF
Lover, that we have to play

      A minorAm
Crashing into each other

     G+G
No convalescing


   C majorC
It' a leap of faith

        FF
Lover, that we blindly take

         A minorAm
I'm taking it with you and no other

    G+G
No hesitating

Chorus 1:

      FF
And if our minds they go

    A minorAm
And our bones they shatter

       G+G
We'll put it on nobody

    FF  A minorAm
But ourselves


Verse 2:

    C majorC
It's an old refrain

        FF
Lover, that we hear again

     A minorAm
Urging a cautious measure

       G+G
Sounding a warning

    C majorC
It's a thin escape

        FF
Lover, that we hope to make

           A minorAm
When we're beaten, broken and battered

      G+G
Beyond consoling


Chorus 2:

    FF
And the breezes blow

      A minorAm
And to the winds we're scattered

          G+G
And we're fending for nobody

    FF  A minorAm
But ourselves

Verse 3:

    C majorC
It's a fool's, fool's game

             FF
When you've nothing but a heart to break

         A minorAm
Better keep on breaking it, lover

     G+G
Until it opens


    C majorC
It's a speeding train

          FF
Beating through the pouring rain

         A minorAm
With no way to slow or stop it

           G+G
And the tracks are broken


Chorus 3:

    FF
Like a rising wave

       A minorAm
Through the storms we gather

         G+G
And we're falling on nobody

    FF  A minorAm
But ourselves
