Fools Game chords by Glen Hansard

Verse 1:

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

               F
Lover, that we have to play

            Am
Crashing into each other

         G
No convalescing


      C
It' a leap of faith

               F
Lover, that we blindly take

                 Am
I'm taking it with you and no other

        G
No hesitating


Chorus 1:

           F
And if our minds they go

        Am
And our bones they shatter

             G
We'll put it on nobody

       F   Am
But ourselves


Verse 2:

        C
It's an old refrain

               F
Lover, that we hear again

          Am
Urging a cautious measure

             G
Sounding a warning


        C
It's a thin escape

               F
Lover, that we hope to make

                     Am
When we're beaten, broken and battered

           G
Beyond consoling


Chorus 2:

        F
And the breezes blow

            Am
And to the winds we're scattered

                   G
And we're fending for nobody

       F   Am
But ourselves

Verse 3:

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

                          F
When you've nothing but a heart to break

                 Am
Better keep on breaking it, lover

         G
Until it opens


        C
It's a speeding train

                    F
Beating through the pouring rain

                 Am
With no way to slow or stop it

                     G
And the tracks are broken


Chorus 3:

       F
Like a rising wave

              Am
Through the storms we gather

                  G
And we're falling on nobody

       F   Am
But ourselves
