Fooling Yourself chords by Styx

Chords with lyrics

#29 in 1978.

#1.
C/DC/D
You see the world through your cynical eyes,
     C/DC/D
You're a troubled young man, I can tell.
C/DC/D
You've got it all in the palm of your hand,
     Bb majorBb
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest.
G/AG/A
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.
    G/AG/A
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it.

#2.
C/DC/D
Why must you be such an angry young man?
     C/DC/D
When your future looks quite bright to me.
C/DC/D
And how can there be such a sinister plan,
      Bb majorBb
that could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man?
      G/AG/A
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.
    G/AG/A
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it.

#3.
  D MajorD
Get up, get back on your feet.
      C majorC
You're the one they can't beat, and you know it.
   D MajorD
Come on, let's see  what you've got.
   C majorC
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.

G.

#4.
      G/AG/A
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.
    G/AG/A
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it.
  D MajorD
Get up, get back on your feet.
      C majorC
You're the one they can't beat, and you know it.
   D MajorD
Come on, let's see  what you've got.
   C majorC
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.

G.
