Fooling Myself – Grace Potter
Ahhh
C Am
Come on, you can talk to me
C Am
Come on, I'm ready to receive
G F
Well I can't always read your mind
G F
And your words are all one of a kind
Ohh
Chorus:
C
Lately I feel like I'm fooling myself
AM G--F
Either that or I'm fooling everyone else
C
And lately I feel like a piece of my soul
AM G--F
Is hanging around for everyone to hold
AM
Lately it's hard just to let it all go
G C
But it's going, going, gone right out my door
C Am
Come on, try to smile for me
C Am
Open up and try to breathe
G F
With your face like a sad china doll
G F
You've been hiding your heart from it all
Chorus: x2
C
And lately I feel like I'm fooling myself
Am G--F
Either that or I'm fooling everyone else
C
And lately I feel like a piece of my soul
Am G--F
Is hanging around for everyone to hold
Am
Lately it's hard just to let it all go
G C
But it's going, going, gone right out my door
Am C
Going, going, gone right out my door
Foolin' myself, foolin' myself
Foolin' myself, foolin' myself
Foolin' myself, foolin' myself
