The Fool
Alex Benjamin
The Fool (Single)
[Verse 1]
A#mI thought that we were gonna make it all the way
F#Drive away into a gorgeous sunset
A#mI know we had some rough times, yeah, in the past
F#But I thought that we left it tA#mhere, left it tG#here
[Chorus]
A#mWhat did I do?
F#Where did it all go wrong?
A#mWhat did I say, to make you F#go away?
When I sC#aid that I loved G#/Cyou
I thA#mought you mG#/Ceant it F#too
I guess I'm the fA#moolF#  
[Verse 2]
A#mNow I'm sitting on the curb with a broken heart
F#The world so dark in the middle of the morning
A#mThe sun is shining but its rays have no effect
F#Clouded by, these tears that fA#mall, tears that fG#all
[Chorus 2]
A#mWhat did I do?
F#Where did it all go wrong?
A#mWhat did I say, to make you F#go away?
When I sC#aid that I loved G#/Cyou
I thA#mought you G#/Cmeant it F#too
[Bridge]
But am I the A#mFool to the think F#love was more than C#just three words on a G#Hallmark card?
Am I the A#mfool, to think F#love could change the worlC#d if we only belG#ieved?
But I A#m/Fwon't - no F#I refuse, to C#lose hope in love, G#just 'cause of you
And you A#mmay not agree, F#that's okayC#. You can juG#st call me the A#mfoolF#  C#  G#  
Call me the A#mfool F#(3xC#)G#  
[Outro]
I'll still A#msay that I love G#you
I A#mguess that G#/Cmakes me the F#fool
