[Verse 1]
Em
She has the face of a heavenly angel - and a heart as pure as gold
And she needed me to believe in her - there’s a fire down in her soul
[Chorus]
C D Em
How could I be such a fool
C Am
It’s a cold fact that I’m right back
C D Em
To the place where I swear that I’m gonna loose
C Am
I’ve seen the daylight turning dark night
C D Em
And it’s coming down like a ton of blues
[Verse 2]

A strong man can be tempted - a weak moment’s my mistake
Now my whole world’s like a bad dream - one slip is all it takes
[Chorus]
C D Em
How could I be such a fool
C Am
It’s a cold fact that I’m right back
C D Em
To the place where I swear that I’m gonna loose
C Am
I’ve seen the daylight turning dark night
C D Em
And it’s coming down like a ton of blues

It’s a foolish game that I play - and it’s hell to pay the price
How could I throw it all away - with one toss of the dice
[Chorus]
C D Em
How could I be such a fool
C Am
It’s a cold fact that I’m right back
C D Em
To the place where I swear that I’m gonna loose
