Foolish One

[Primera Parte]

G
My cards are on the table, yours are
 in your hand
 C
Chances are, tonight, you've already
 got plans
    Am                  C
And chances are I will talk myself 
to sleep
  G
Again
             G
You give me just enough attention to
 keep my hopes too high
         C
Wishful thoughts forget to mention 
when something's really not right

    Am                      C
And I will block out these voices of
 reason
        G
In my head
                     C           G
And the voices say, "You are not the
     D
Exception
 C                        D
You will never learn your lesson"

That ain't never gonna come
 Am
You will take the long way, you will
 take
               D
The long way down

  G
You know how to keep me waitin'
G
I know how to act like I'm fine
                   C
Don't know what to call this 
situation
C
But I know I can't call you mine
          Am                  C
And it's delicate, but I will do my 
best to
       G
Seem bulletproof
                G
'Cause when my head is on your 
shoulder
 G
It starts thinkin' you'll come 
around
            C
And maybe, someday, when we're older

  C
This is something we'll laugh about
      Am            C
Over coffee every mornin' while 
you're
               G  D
Watching the news
D                         C      
But then the voices say, "You are
      G
 not the
     D
Exception
 C                        D
You will never learn your lesson"

You will learn the hard way instead 
of just
          D
Walkin' out

[Puente]

         Em
Now I'm slidin' down the wall with 
my
 C
Head in my hands
         G                    D
Sayin', "How could I not see the 
signs?"
                Em
Oh, you haven't written me or called
             C
But goodbye screamin' in the silence
          G                  
And the voices in my head are 
      D
tellin' me why
        G
'Cause you got her on your arm and 
me in the wings
     C
I'll get your longing glances, but 
she'll get your ring
    Am               C
And you will say you had the best of
      G
Intentions
     Am                  C        
And maybe I will finally learn my 
   D
lesson

Foolish one

Sittin' 'round waiting for

They ain't never gonna come
