Briston Maroney “Fool’s Gold”
[Intro]
A  D  Bm  D
[Verse 1]
AI hate to say it, but I think I'm getting too old
DThe conversations that my mind won’t even let me hold
BmYour attention isn't worth my weight in fool's gold
DWanna let go, can I let go?
AStarted talking and you couldn’t look in my eyes
DTold me stories 'bout you drinking on the 4th of July
BmEvery little truth, it turned into a big lie
DWhy do I try? Why do I Bmtry?
[Pre-Chorus]
If I hold my breath 'til EI fall asleep
Will Bmit be there when I wake?E  
[Chorus]
AMaybe we can Bmtake some Dtime
Move out Awest where we can Bmdo this Dright
Broken Aclock still keepBms the Dtime
Who saAys I've got to sBmtay in a Dline?
I'm so F#msick of these Acity Dlights
EveryF#mthing here's Ablack and Dwhite
I don't F#mknow where AI went Dwrong
But I F#msurely Adid toDnight
[Verse 2]
AIt just me or is this music playing too loud?
DAll the kids dressed in black really getting me down
BmMother warned about hanging with the wrong crowd
DGotta get out, gotta get out
ADon't give a fuck if you intended to ignore me
DWish that I could close my eyes and just go back to sleep
BmThat’s your best friend and she’s passed out in the backseat
DShe needs you more than me
[Pre-Chorus]
BmIf I fall asleep with Emy hands held tight
BmThey'd be there when I wakeE  
[Chorus]
AMaybe we can Bmtake some Dtime
Move out Awest where we can Bmdo this Dright
Broken Aclock still keepBms the Dtime
Who saAys I've got to sBmtay in a Dline?
I'm so F#msick of these Acity Dlights
EveryF#mthing here's Ablack and Dwhite
And she’s F#mcalling Ame to Dbed
But I F#mwill not Asleep tonDight
[Instrumental]
  A    D    Bm    Dx3
[Outro]
N.C.
I have a tendency to overthink in my head
N.C.
Let’s just listen to some music and go back to bed
N.C.
Probably didn't hear a single word that I said
N.C.                         Bm  
Just forget it until the morn

Briston Maroney “Fool’s Gold”

[Intro]

A D Bm D

[Verse 1]

I hate to say it, but I think I'm getting too old

The conversations that my mind won’t even let me hold

Your attention isn't worth my weight in fool's gold

Wanna let go, can I let go?

Started talking and you couldn’t look in my eyes

Told me stories 'bout you drinking on the 4th of July

Every little truth, it turned into a big lie

D Bm

Why do I try? Why do I try?

[Pre-Chorus]

If I hold my breath 'til I fall asleep

Bm E

Will it be there when I wake?

[Chorus]

A Bm D

Maybe we can take some time

A Bm D

Move out west where we can do this right

A Bm D

Broken clock still keeps the time

A Bm D

Who says I've got to stay in a line?

F#m A D

I'm so sick of these city lights

F#m A D

Everything here's black and white

F#m A D

I don't know where I went wrong

F#m A D

But I surely did tonight

[Verse 2]

It just me or is this music playing too loud?

All the kids dressed in black really getting me down

Mother warned about hanging with the wrong crowd

Gotta get out, gotta get out

Don't give a fuck if you intended to ignore me

Wish that I could close my eyes and just go back to sleep

That’s your best friend and she’s passed out in the backseat

She needs you more than me

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm E

If I fall asleep with my hands held tight

Bm E

They'd be there when I wake

[Chorus]

A Bm D

Maybe we can take some time

A Bm D

Move out west where we can do this right

A Bm D

Broken clock still keeps the time

A Bm D

Who says I've got to stay in a line?

F#m A D

I'm so sick of these city lights

F#m A D

Everything here's black and white

F#m A D

And she’s calling me to bed

F#m A D

But I will not sleep tonight

[Instrumental]

A D Bm D

[Outro]

N.C.

I have a tendency to overthink in my head

N.C.

Let’s just listen to some music and go back to bed

N.C.

Probably didn't hear a single word that I said

N.C.

Just forget it until the morn
