Tom: B

"Intro:   Play in G, capo at 4th fret         G  Em  Am  D7  (2x) 

  G                  Em
I used to play around with hearts 
Am            D7
Hasten to my call, 
  G               Em
When I met that little girl, 
   Am              D7
I knew that I would fall 
 
Chorus: 
 
             G      Em
Poor little fool, Oh yea, 
Am      D7    G
I was a fool, Uh huh 
      Em   Am                                 G 
(Uh huh, poor little fool,I was a fool, oh yea)    Em   Am   D7

G                        Em
She played around and teased me, 
Am                    D7
With a carefree devil eye 
G                      Em
She pulled me close and kissed me, 
Am                   D7
But her heart was full of lies 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
G                       Em
She told me that she cared for me, 
Am                   D7
And that we'd never part 
G                  Em
So for the very first time, 
Am             D7
I gave away my heart 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
G             Em
Next day she was gone and I, 
Am             D7
Knew she lied to me 
  G               Em
She left me with a broken heart, 
Am           D7
Won her victory 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
G                            Em
I played this game with other hearts, 
Am                       D7
But I never thought I d see 
G                            Em
The day when someone else would   play 
Am                      D7
love s foolish game with me 
 
Repeat Chorus
