Intro: C Am F G (2x) 

#1. 
C              Am                      F 
I used to play around with hearts that hastened  
      G7 
at my call. 
    C               Am             F 
But when I met that little girl, I knew that I  
      G7 
would fall. 
            C         Am    F       G7       C  
Poor little fool, oh, yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh.. 
             Am    F       G7 
(poor little fool, I was a fool.) 

#2. 
      C               Am                F 
She'd play around and tease me with her carefree  
      G7 
devil eyes. 
      C                 Am               F 
She'd hold me close and kiss me, but her heart was  
        G7 
full of lies. 
            C         Am    F       G7    C  
Poor little fool, oh, yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh.. 
             Am    F       G7 
(poor little fool, I was a fool.) 

#3. 
    C               Am                F 
She told me how she cared for me, and that we'd  
      G7 
never part. 
    C                Am            F            G7 
And so, for the very first time, I gave away my heart. 
            C         Am    F       G7    C  
Poor little fool, oh, yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh.. 
             Am    F       G7 
(poor little fool, I was a fool.) 

#4. 
         C                Am         F 
Then the next day she was gone and I knew she lied  
   G7 
to me. 
    C              Am               F          G7 
She left me with a broken heart and won her victory. 
            C         Am    F       G7    C  
Poor little fool, oh, yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh.. 
             Am    F       G7 
(poor little fool, I was a fool.) 


#5. 
          C                     Am 
Well, I'd played this game with other hearts, but I  
F                 G7 
never thought I'd see.. 
    C                Am                     F 
the day that someone else would play love's foolish  
          G7 
game with me. 
            C         Am    F       G7    C  
Poor little fool, oh, yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh.. 
             Am    F       G7 
(poor little fool, I was a fool.) 

OUTRO: 
            C         Am    F       G7    C  
Poor little fool, oh, yeah, I was a fool, in love. 
 F        C    
(Oooooooo-ooooooooo.)(Fade.)
