"Intro: Play in G, G Em Am D7 (2x)
G Em
I used to play around with hearts
Am D7
Hasten to my call,
G Em
When I met that little girl,
Am D7
I knew that I would fall
Chorus:
G Em
Poor little fool, Oh yea,
Am D7 G
I was a fool, Uh huh
Em Am G
(Uh huh, poor little fool,I was a fool, oh yea) Em Am D7
G Em
She played around and teased me,
Am D7
With a carefree devil eye
G Em
She pulled me close and kissed me,
Am D7
But her heart was full of lies
Repeat Chorus
G Em
She told me that she cared for me,
Am D7
And that we'd never part
G Em
So for the very first time,
Am D7
I gave away my heart
Repeat Chorus
G Em
Next day she was gone and I,
Am D7
Knew she lied to me
G Em
She left me with a broken heart,
Am D7
Won her victory
Repeat Chorus
G Em
I played this game with other hearts,
Am D7
But I never thought I d see
G Em
The day when someone else would play
Am D7
love s foolish game with me
Repeat Chorus
