[C] [B] Well, I've made the observation in my social set, [D] [Ebm] a lot of my pals, well, you know, let's
face it in [N] our culture, girls, it just ain't fair.
You know, a lot of guys trade a great woman in on a new model.
It happens.
Being a father of four daughters, I counsel them about men, and they know that I'm not
a very good example of one of those, and so I think they've learned through osmosis
that we can be quite fickle.
You know, supposedly the fairer gender is the fickle gender, but I don't think so.
But I have observed my older male friends going for younger women and come around and
complaining to me about the lack of conversation.
[D] So with a little bit of compassion for everybody, you know, the job of the songwriter a lot
of times is just observe and report back.
Taking my coat, taking my hat, taking my brother away, just like that.
Turn the tables on me, hang new labels on me, wind the clock back nice and slow, [Bm]
[D] make
me laugh till I weep, make me lonesome for you in my sleep.
Is this love or lust?
Bottom tier or rubber crust?
We'll find out soon enough, you know.
[Em] Younger woman, older man, [Bm] how can we make this work?
[Em] Don't you know [D] we can't?
Famous last words of a fool in love.
[Em] Oh, I've been out of touch so long, been going at it hammer and [G] tongue.
Sure that I could build [Bm] a wall higher than a man [D] can fall.
Famous last words of a fool in love.
[Em] [Bm]
[Em]
[D]
This is not about a choice you [G] make, it's not about a chance you [D] take, looking for the
next [Bm] cheap thrill or the magic in a little blue [D] pill.
It's how do [G] you feel [D] with your hopes up high?
[Bm]
[E] I [Em] might have been a handsome lad back when I didn't look so [G] mad.
This is what I find amazing, you and I could go out [D] blazing.
Famous last words of a fool in love.
[G] Famous last words [D] of a fool.
