I was a fool to care,
FFBm7s4
I was a fool to care
EDmaj7
I was a fool to care
BGFEAA
but I don't care even if I was a fool
DFF#7us4
I'm still in love with you
BGF#m7
Had I listened to the grapevine,
EADmaj7
I might have had my doubts
BGFBED/F#
But I did my level best just to block them out
G A4 A7, D /c# /b /a
"Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes
GD
And it took a while for a fool to see
EE7
what his friends were on about
GAD
I was a fool to care
FFBm7s4
I was a fool to care
EDmaj7
I was a fool to care
BGFEAA
but I don't care even if I was a fool
DBm
I'm still in love with you
CG
Imagining your face,
CADDaj7
it almost fills the empty space before me
CGFEA77
I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies
FF#7us4
BGF#m7
I wish I was an old man
EADmaj7
and love was through with me
BGFBED/F#
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee
G A4 A7, D /c# /b /a
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line
GD
Just keeping track of time
BE7
without all these memories
GAD
I was a fool to care
FFBm7s4
I was a fool to care
EDmaj7
I was a fool to care
BGFEAA
but I don't care even if I was a fool
DFF#7us4
I'm still in love with you
BAGmaj7
Baby, yes, I Am
FEGAA/B
I could have opened my eyes,
EGAA/B
I could have seen through your lies
EGAA/B
I could have stood for no more,
EGAF#dim7
I could have walked out the door
Em7 Dmaj7, F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
Em7 Dmaj7, F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care.
