Capo 1
Intro:  Bm   G   D(x4)
Beware the F#mdanger it Glurks for Dthose who get swept away 
The F#mdreamers get Gpunished Dmost by truth 
They say it's F#mall in a Glittle Dways 
One reveals their Dlove's gone aEmway,
DLove's gone aEmway 
When my F#mhand was Gin your Dhand, my heart was pure 
Now I F#msee a Gdifferent Dman, rewriting memories 
The F#mdogs run Gdown the Dbeach, and all I'm left with
Is Dsand in my Emshoes, DSand in my Emshoes 
BmFools Glike Dme 
We Bmlove GblindDly 
And the Bmcracks Gdon't Dcount 
It's gotta Bmbreak in Gfront of Dme 
F#mNow I reGcall that Dtime at the cafe,
The F#mthunderGstorm outDside, words you could never say,
They F#mhold the Gloudest Dtones, you say you'll write
But it's Dink on a Empage, just Dink on a Empage 
BmFools Glike Dme 
Oh, we Bmlove GblindDly 
And the Bmcracks Gdon't Dcount 
It's gotta Bmbreak in Gfront of Dme
ATic toc the Gtime 
Distant Dlook grows in Bmyour Aeye 
But Afools never Gask
Afraid of what Dlurks in Bmyour Amind 
I Aalways Gknew, somehow, Dalways Bmknew A  
I Aalways Gknew the Bmtruth G  D  
BmFools Glike Dme 
Oh, we BmnevGer Dsee 
’Cause the Bmcracks Gdon't Dcount 
It's gotta Bmbreak in Gfront of Dme 
And it's breakBmin',G  D  
It's breakBmin',G  D  
It's breakBmin'G  D  
It's gotta Bmbreak for Gme to Dsee 
At least BmI Gcan Dsay
I was Bmnot GafrDaid 
I loved you Bmall Gthe Dway 
I'd pick the Bmfool Gany Dday
