[F] [G] [Em]
I used to play around with [F] hearts, chasing [G] at my car.
[Em] But when I met that little girl, [F] I knew that I [G] would fall for a [C] little fool.
[Am] Oh yeah!
[F] I was [G] a fool, [C] uh-huh, uh-huh, [Am] poor little fool.
[F] I was a [G] fool, oh yeah!
[C] She'd play around and tease me with [F] her carefree [G] devil eyes.
[C] She'd hold me close and kiss me, but [F] her heart was [G] full of lies.
[Em] Poor little fool.
[Am] Oh yeah!
[F] I was [G] a fool, [C] uh-huh, uh-huh, [Am] poor little fool.
[Dm] I was a fool, [G] oh yeah!
She [Em] told me how she cared for me, [F] that we'd [G] never part.
[Em]
So for the very [Am] first time, [F] I gave away [G] my heart.
Poor [C] little fool.
[Am] Oh yeah!
[F] I [G] was a fool, [C] uh-huh, uh-huh, [Am] poor little fool.
[F] I was a fool, [G] oh yeah!
[C] The next day she was gone and I [F] knew she lied [G] to me.
[C] She left me with a broken heart, [F] won her [G] victory.
Poor [C] little fool.
[Am] Oh yeah!
[F] I [G] was a fool, [C] uh-huh, uh-huh, [Am] poor little fool.
[F] I was a fool, [G] oh yeah!
Well [C] I played this game [Am] with other hearts, [F] but I never thought [G] I'd see
the [C] day when someone else would play [F] love's foolish game [G] with me.
Poor [C] little fool.
[Am] Oh yeah!
[F] I [G] was a fool, uh [C]-huh, uh-huh, [Am] poor little fool.
[F] I was a fool, [G] oh yeah!
[C] Poor little fool.
Oh yeah!
[F] I [G] was a fool, [C] uh-huh, uh [F]-huh, poor little [C] fool.
