[A] [B] [F#m] [A] [B] [F#m] I was [E] a fool to care, [C#m] I was a fool to care [F#m] I was a fool [B] to care, [C#m] but I don't care
[G#m] Even if I [F#m] was a fool, [C#] [E] I'm still in [C#] love with [G#] you
[C#m]
Had I listened to [G#m] the [C#m] grapevine, I [A] might have [E] had my doubts

[A]
Cause [E] love is [B] so [E] unwise, and love [C#m] had no eyes
[A] And it took a while [E] for a fool to see, [C#m] what his friends were [F#] on about
[E] Well [A] I was a [B] fool [E] to care, I [G#] was a [C#m] fool to care

[D]
Imagining [A] your face, [D] it almost [Bm] fills the empty [E] space before me

[D#m]
[G#] [C#m] Oh yeah, I [A] wish I was an [G#m] old [F#m] man, and love was [E] through with me
[C#m] I [A] wish I was a [G#m] baby [C#m] on my [F#] mama's knee
[E] [A] I [E] wish I was a [B] freight [E] train, moving [C#m] down the line
[A] Just to keep in [E] track of time, [C#m] without all these [F#] memories
[E] [A] Well I was [B] a fool [E] to care, [D#m] I was a [G#] fool [C#m] to care
[F#m] I was [E] a fool to care, [C#m] yeah but I don't [A] care
Even [G#m] if I [F#m] was a fool, [E] I'm still [C#m] in love with you
Baby [Bm] yes [A] I am, [E] I could have [B] opened my eyes
[A] I could have seen [B] through your lies, [F#m] I could [A] have snuck for [B] no [A] more
I could have walked [B] out the [D] door, [F#m] but I was a [E] fool to care
[D#] I was a [G#] fool [C#m] to care, [F#m] well I was a [G#m] fool to care
[F#] And I was [C#m] a fool to care, [C#m] I [B] was a fool to care
