If I only knew then what I know now
F C
You wouldn't be sayin' goodbye
F C F C
But I let you down I was never around
F C
When you needed me there by your side
F G7
I took a perfect love
Em Am
And gave you a perfect heartache
F Em
I took a band of gold
D7 G7
And made a 24-carat mistake
And turned it into
Am F
Fool's gold and I was a fool cause I let you go
Am F
Fool's gold yes I was a fool cause I didn't know
Am Em
Too many times I just didn't try
Am D7 Am
And now all I hear is you sayin' goodbye
F C F C F
Starin' at an empty hand full of fool's gold
C F C
If I'd spent the time just holdin' you tight
F C
And sharin' my feelings with you
F C F C
Then you'd understand what's inside of this man
F C
And you'd know what I'm goin' through
F G7
I know that I was wrong
Em Am
Now that it's too late
F Em
I took a band of gold
D7 G7
And made a 24-carat mistake
