  			        D
1. You took me up to heaven, and then you took me in your arms,
        G
   I was dazzled by your beauty, blinded by your charms.
         A                D              A                   D
   I was lost in Fools Paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.
 
              D
2. But then you told me that you loved me, 
 
    and then I gave my heart to you.
          G
    But, well,  I wondered if there could be any truth in love so new,
        A                   D              A                  D
   I was lost in a Fools Paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.
 
     G
The whole world was my kingdom, 
     D
and your love became my crown,
       E
but when I saw you then with a new romance, 
       G  - - - - -  G - - - - -  A
you know, my love came tumbling down.
 
              D
3. Well  you treat kind of coolish, and you never love me enough,
            G
     and you think I'm being foolish because I love you so.
             A                     D               A                    D
     I still get lost in a Fools paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.
 
+ instrumental = verse 1, + CHORUS   + repeat verse 3
 
           A                       D                A                    D
     I still get lost in a Fools paradise, lost with you in a Fools Paradise.
