Capo 1st


D      Em   Bm   A      C - A      

D      Em   Bm   A      G - A


Bm                     D
Young and bright

           G 
But now just a dim light 

D             A
off in the distance.

Bm                     D
A fallen stone

                G
Following the path 

D            A
of least resistance.

G             D
If I still fight

G                 D
It's just that I'm 

G                  D                    A
afraid I'll slide under that spell again.


G - A


D                   Em       Bm      A
Taken for a fool,

         C        A          D
Yes I was because I was a fool.

Em     Bm     A       G - A

D                          Em          Bm          A 
Tell me what you'd do,

           C               A                D 
Lost my way when she took me to school.


Em      Bm          A        G - A


Bm                    D
So many times

               G
Caught up in my head at night 
  
     D                A
with a leash and a label.

Bm                  D
If I could learn

                          G      
Anything from this then I'd be like

D                     A
The fox in the fable all right

G                 D
If I still fight,
G                  D
It's just that I'm 

G                  D                       A  
afraid I'll slide under that spell again.

Em                                   A
The way we used to carry on

Em                                               A
Is stuck in my head like a terrible song.


G - A


D                     Em      Bm        A
Taken for a fool,       

         C         A        D
Yes I was and I was a fool.


Em    Bm    A     G     A


D      Em    Bm   A     C      A   


D      Em    Bm   A     G      A


D              Em   Bm     A
Following the rules

           C            A            D
Guess I wasn't very honest too.


Em     Bm    A       G - A


D              Em    Bm     A
Taken for a fool,

              C        A           D
Yes I was because I was a fool.


Em     Bm     A      G    -      A         -             D
