Poor Little Fool

Tom: B

  B             G#m                    E              F#
I used to play around with hearts that hastened at my call,
    B               G#m           E                 F#
But when I met that little girl I knew that I would fall.

[Chorus]
            B        G#m  E        F#
Poor little fool, oh yeah, I was a fool, uh huh..

[Verse]
    B                 G#m                E              F#m
She played around and teased me with her carefree devil eyes,
      B                 G#m             E                 F#m
She'd hold me close and kiss me but her heart was full of lies.

[Chorus]

[Verse]
    B               G#m              E               F#m
She told me how she cared for me and that we'd never part,
    B          G#m               E            F#m
And so for the very first time I gave away my heart.

[Chorus]

[Verse]
B            G#m                E                  F#m
The next day she was gone and I knew she'd lied to me,
    B              G#m              E             F#m
She left me with a broken heart and won her victory.

[Chorus]

[Verse]
    B                     G#m                E                 F#m
I'd played this game with other hearts but I never thought I'd see,
    B                G#m                    E                 F#m
The day that someone else would play love's foolish game with me.
