(Verse)
C5 D5 F5 A5 Bb5
Wolves wait at your door
G5
For your permission
C5 D5 F5 A5 Bb5
Slyly you invite them in
G5
On one condition
C5 D5 F5 A5 Bb5
That they prepare a feast
G5
From your provisions
C5 D5 F5 A5 Bb5
Of root and wild beast
G5
For you to eat
C5 D5
Surprise
They took your money
F5
And they ate your kids
A5 Bb5
And they had their way
G5
With your wife a lil' bit
C5 D5
While you wept on the porch
F5
With your head in your hands
A5 Bb5 G5
Cursing taxes and the government
(Chorus)
C5 D5 F5
'Cause you're a goddamn fool
A5 Bb5
And I love you
G5
Yeah, I love you
(Verse)
C5 D5 F5 A5 Db5
Look into your eyes
G5
Your former glory
C5 D5 F5 A5 Bb5
Bright and open wide
G5
Like Easter morning
C5 D5 F5 A5 Bb5
How the light has dimmed
G5 C5
And how the fear of
D5 F5 A5 Db5 G5
everything is creeping in
(Chorus)
C5 D5 F5
'Cause you're a goddamn fool
A5 Bb5
And I love you
G5
Yeah, I love you
C5 D5 F5
'Cause you're a goddamn fool
A5 B5
And I love you
G5
Yeah, I love you
