Only A Fool Breaks His Own Heart chords by Nick Lowe

Intro:

I improvise between Dmaj7 and A before going to D to start the song.

Verse 1:
D               A
Why do I go on fooling myself
Bm                  F#m
When I know you love somebody else
G       A                   D    A
Only a fool breaks his own heart

Verse 2:
D              A
I pretend that I don't see
Bm               F#m
You walking with him on the street
G       A                   D    D7
Only a fool breaks his own heart

Chorus:
G          F#
I have to admit
        D              G
Even though it hurt me so
G          F#
I can't forget
    F              G
If I'm a man I'll let you go

Verse 3:
D                   A
There's no sense in holding on
Bm            F#m
To an old love that's gone
G       A                   D    A
Only a fool breaks his own heart

Instrumental:

D  A  Bm  F#m G  A  D  D7

Chorus:
G          F#
I have to accept
        D              G
Even though it hurt me so
G          F#
I can't forget
    F              G
If I'm a man I'll let you go

Verse 4:
D                   A
There's no sense in holding on
Bm            F#m
To an old love that's gone
G       A                   F#    G
Only a fool breaks his own heart
G       A                   D    A
