G5                              D5 
His heart's been through the ringer a time or two 
G5            C5 
Poor boy, I guess he never knew 
G5                      D5 
What'll happen if you close your eyes 
    C5                     D5 
And let your heart go to lovin' blind 
G5               D5 
Fool him once, oh now shame on you 
G5                 C5 
Fool him twice, well I guess he should've knew 
G5                      D5 
I guess his heart was born to burn 
C5                    D5 
I think some fools never learn 
 

G5               D5 
A fool and his heart 
G5             C5 
How soon they part 
G5              D5         C5             D5 
He just can't hold on to it for very long 
G5                      D5 
He's the first one to fall 
G5                             C5 
Now he can't help himself at all 
G5                   D5 
Separated from the start 
         C5   D5          G5 
That old fool and his heart  
 
 
The poor boy's been hurt so many times 
Goes and lays his heart out on the line 
The stakes are high he's a gamblin' man 
He'll roll the dice, he'll take the chance 
When the chips down he'll never make the score 
Always seems to keep coming back for more 
I guess his heart was born to burn 
I think some fools never learn 
 
 
(Chorus 2x)
