Am7  Em7          Am7
A fool fool I met a fool
  Am7  Em7          Am7
A fool fool I met a fool
Am7                 Em7
Laughed aloud maybe once or twice
Dm7                  F7
'Bout the mess I had made of my life
         Am7              E7                    Am7
He was a full-fledged fool and I met him in the mirror

[Verse 2]
Am7 Em7          Am7
Lie lie the fool told a lie
Am7  Em7          Am7
He gave advice, he said shoot for the sky
Am7                      Em7
Laughed as he spoke of a master plan
Dm7                F7
Reminisced about becoming a man
         Am7              E7                    Am7
He was a full-fledged fool and I met him in the mirror

A fool fool I met a fool
  Am7  Em7          Am7
A fool fool I met a fool
Am7                 Em7
Laughed aloud maybe once or twice

'Bout the mess I had made of my life
         Am7              E7                    Am7
He was a full-fledged fool and I met him in the mirror
         Am7            E7                    Am7
He was a first-rate fool and I met him in the mirror
  Am7              E7                    Am7
A full-fledged fool and I met him in the mirror
