I am a full grown fool
And I should have know better
A
But I tried and I tried
And I could not forget her
E
I would go back to her
Time after time
A B
Man I must have been out of mind
E
All of that crying for nothing
C#m
All of that trying for nothing
A
What has it ever got me
B
What has it ever taught me
E
I've got to keep believing
C#m
In something baby
A
Instead of just trying for nothing
B E E C#m E C#m
Crying for nothing at all
E
We fought for love
And we fought for trust
A
And the whole blessed time
It was right there in front of us
E
But we could not reach it
I don't know why
A
And it took so long
B
Just to say goodbye
E
All of that crying for nothing

All of that trying for nothing
A
What has it ever got me

What has it ever taught me

I've got to keep believing

Crying for nothing at all
F#m
Her friends all told me
Mine told me
E
But we would not listen
We could not see
F#m,
Me and my pride
Her and her dreams
B
We never stood a chance it seems
SOLO
E
All of that crying for nothing

What has it ever taught me

I've got to keep believing
C#m
In something baby
A
Instead of just trying for nothing

Crying for nothing at all
