Patty Loveless - Born-Again Fool


CAPO: 1st Fret




INTRO: C  F  C  G  C  F  G  C (2x) Cadd9  C  Cadd9

   C         F              C           G
He sits on a park bench and stares into space
         C             F               G         C
Thinking of his bright future that has now been erased
                F           C           G
He once loved a woman whose love wasn't true
    C          F          G          C     Cadd9  C  Cadd9
Now all that remains is a born-again fool

   C                F           C          G
Mistakes, he's made many in his passage of life
    C           F              G             C
But she was the first wrong he couldn't make right
                F           C         G
She left him no reason, she left no excuse
        C            F          G          C
All she left was the shell of a born-again fool


CHORUS:
  F                           C
Believing that her love would be his salvation
    F                            C         G
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation
 C            F             C             G
Another false idol, another heart torn in two
            C         F         G          C
Oh, there's no one as lost as a born-again fool


INTERLUDE: C  F  C  G  C  F  G  C  Cadd9  C  Cadd9


         C            F              C           G
Well, he gave all she asked for, she took all he had
    C            F            G            C
She made him her puppet, with no strings attached
               F           C        G
He did all she wanted, but he never knew
        C       F       G          C
She was only creating a born-again fool


CHORUS:
  F                           C
Believing that her love would be his salvation
    F                            C         G
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation
 C            F             C             G
Another false idol, another heart torn in two
            C         F         G          Am   F  C  Cadd9  C  F  G
Oh, there's no one as lost as a born-again fool______


   C         F                C         G
He sits on a park bench still wondering why
       C              F         G          C
As the whole world, unnoticing, passes him by
                  F                C            G
Such a forlorn conclusion that his life led him to
  C            F              G          C
Betrayed and deceived, he's a born-again fool
