Capo 2 
 
 
G 
Well if you looked up "fool" in Webster's Dic book 
C                       A 
You'd find a picture of me 
   D 
You'd say now this ole boy 
                                          G 
Ain't too smart wearing his heart on his sleeve 
G 
I'm a sucker for love, oh I'm a true romantic 
C                     A 
I've been the fool before 
    D 
But girl that's ever known me, has gone and left me lonely 
                           G 
And I kept comin' back for more 
 

          G 
Cuz I'm hellbent for a heartache 
               C             A 
I keep fallin' over and over again 
        D 
It's a lesson in love I can't get the hang of 
                                           G 
It's the game of chance I ain't ever gonna win 
       G 
I'm hellbent for a heartache 
               C             A 
I keep fallin' over and over again 
        D 
Well my heart's at stake 
 
But that's the chance I'll take 
                           G 
Cuz I'm hellbent for a heartache  
 
 
 
Now all my life I've been mistreated 
A little good lovin' is all I ever needed 
To keep me alive, keep me hangin' on 
Oh for once it'd sure feel nice 
Not to be singing these blues 
I never learn, I just keep on believing 
Til one day these people come true 
 
 
(Chorus 2x)
