Tom: F#m
A E/G# F#m C# D Bm E
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m
No, no don't let me play the fool
C# D
I can't really love you by the rules
Bm E
For my love is sweet and free
A E/G# F#m
No, no don't let me play the fool
C# D
For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel
Bm E A
Can't you see it isn't me
[Verse]
Bm E
What you ask of me is just to be your clown
A F#m
Someone you can lead about and show around
D C#
Why make of our love a children's puppet show
F#
Can't I simply love you in the way I know
Bm E
What I ask of you is not to turn away
A F#m
Listen to the words that I'm trying to say
D C#
Our love could be a new adventure every day
F#
Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m
No, no don't let me play the fool
C# D
I can't really love you by the rules
Bm E
For my love is sweet and free
A E/G# F#m
No, no don't let me play the fool
C# D
For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel
Bm E A
Can't you see it isn't me
[Verse]
Bm E
All I want from you is a little sympathy
A F#m
Try to understand what it would be for me
D C#
All my hopes and dreams would now be bound and tied
F#
Any hope of freedom would have surely died
Bm E
I want to know that I can fall in love again
A F#m
And be sure that my love will never not restrain
D C#
So please just let me love you in the way I know
F#
Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you.
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m
No, no don't let me play the fool

C# D
For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel
Bm E A
Can't you see it isn't me
