Foolish One - Tell Me Why

[Verse 1] G My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand C Chances are, tonight you've already got plans Am C G And chances are, I will talk myself to sleep again G You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high C Wishful thoughts forget to mention when someting's really not right Am C G And I will block out these voices of reason in my head [Pre-Chorus] D And the voices say C G D "You are not the exception" C D "You will never learn your lesson" [Chorus 1] G Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox C for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come Am You will take the long way D You will take the long way down [Interlude] G C Am D [Verse 2] C G I took a chance, I took a shot D Em And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not C G You took a swing, I took it hard D Em And down here on the ground I see who you are [Chorus 2] C G I'm sick and tired of your attitude D I'm feeling like I don't know you Em You tell me that you love me then cut me down C G And I need you like a heartbeat D But you know you got a mean streak Em Makes me run for cover when you're around C D Here's to you and your temper G Em Yes, I remember what you said last night C D And I know that you see what you're doing to me G C Am D Tell me why [Bridge 1] Em C Why do you have to make me feel small? G D So you can feel whole inside? Em C Why do you have to put down my dreams? A C D So that you're the only thing on my mind? [Bridge 2] G 'Cause you got her on your arm, and me in the wings C I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring Am C G And you will say you had the best of intentions Am C D And maybe I will finally learn my lesson [Chorus 1] G Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox C for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come Am You will take the long way D You will take the long way down G Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox C for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come Am You will learn the hard way D G Instead of just walking out [Outro] C Am D Ain't never gonna come G Foolish one, the day is gonna come C for your confessions of love When all is said and done Am D He just wasn't the one, no, he just wasn't the one C G I take a step back, let you go D Em G I told you I'm not bulletproof, now you know
