C
I was fooling
G7
When I said I'd always love you
Just fooling
C
When I said that I'd be true
Now you're gone
F
There's an aching that I can't seem to lose
C
And I wonder
G7 C
Was I ever fooling you
F
And now that I realize
C
I can't have you
D7
It's finally dawned on me
G7
Just who the fool could be
C
But this time believe me
F
I'm not fooling you
C
I just can't talk my heart
G7 C
Into unloving you
F
And now that I realize
C
I can't have you
D7
It's finally dawned on me
G7
Just who the fool could be
C
But this time believe me
F
I'm not fooling you
C
I just can't talk my heart
G7 C
Into unloving you
C
But this time believe me
F
I'm not fooling you
C
I just can't talk my heart
G7 F
Into unloving you
