That [F] hastened at my [G] call
But [C] when I met that [Am] little girl
I [F] knew that I would [G] fall

Poor little [C] fool, oh [Am] yeah
[F] I was a [G] fool, uh [C] huh [Am] [F] [G]

VERSE 2:

But her [F] heart was full of [G] lies

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:

And [C] so for the very [Am] first time
I [F] gave away my [G] heart

The [C] next day she was [Am] gone
And I [F] knew she'd lied to [G] me
She [C] left me with a [Am] broken heart
And [F] won her vic-[G]-tory

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 5:
I'd [C] played this game with [Am] other hearts
But I [F] never thought I'd [G] see
The [C] day that someone [Am] else would play
Love's [F] foolish game with [G] me

REPEAT CHORUS:

Poor little [C] fool, oh [Am] yeah
