[Intro]
G A Bm D A
[Verse]
G A Bm
I see you running with your friends
D
I don't know why it comes to mind
A
I think of you before our time
G A Bm
You go all happy on your way
D
I deny to meet the boys
A
Neon lights and hitting noise
[Pre-Chorus]
G
And what'd you reckon, baby?
Bm
Did it cut it? Did it work?
D
Or did pretty boys and pretty words
A
Bring more trouble than they're worth?
G A Bm A
And now another asking for your hand
D A
You don't know if you have it in your heart to roll the dice again
[Chorus]
G A Bm A
I'd rather be the fool
G A Bm A
You'd know it if it's true
G A
Letting go and I'm gonna lose
Bm A
And old dampened youth
G A Bm
I'd rather be the fool
E Bm D A
Hmmm Ahhh
[Verse]
G A Bm
I love you for all that you've fought
D
I love you for your bitter twist
A
Your gentle hand, your hopeless kiss
G A Bm
Oh, I look into your eyes
D
I read your mind and I can tell
A
It's me that's been read very well
[Pre-Chorus]
G
What you reckon, baby?
A Bm A
Anybody put to worth?
D
Or draw it off in someone's mind
A
How it feels when we locked eyes
G A Bm
And now another asking for your hand
D A
You don't know if you have it in your heart to roll the dice again
[Chorus]
G A Bm A
I'd rather be the fool
G A Bm A
You'd know it if it's true
G A
Letting go and I'm gonna lose
Bm A G
And old dampened youth
A Bm
I'd rather be the fool
[Bridge]
Em Bm
I tell myself I wish I'd met you sooner in the game
D A
That our hearts still are soothing and our love would play the same
E Bm
But I don't know, babe, might I shouldn't say
D A
I cannot time the light, I cannot time the pain
[Chorus]
G A Bm A G
I'd rather be the fool
A Bm
You'd know it if it's true
G A
Letting go and I'm gonna lose
Bm A G
And old dampened youth
A Bm
I'd rather be the fool
[Outro]
G A Bm D A G A Bm D A
