INTRO: D (once) 
 
        D               D7 
There's no fool like an old fool 
    G               Em 
I'm livin' proof of that 
    G                 D 
For years it seems my head has been 
       E7               A7 
Just a place to hang my hat 
        D                   D7 
Shoulda known when I met you 
    G              E7 
You could never be true 
        G               D 
There's no fool like an old fool 
           A7                 D 
'Cause I'm still in love with you 
 

    Bm              G 
You came to me so sweetly 
        A7            D 
And you took me by my hand 
    Bm              F#m 
You said you had to leave me 
          E7               A7 
But you'd still be my best friend 
         D                    D7 
And if I live to be a hundred 
       G          E7 
I will never understand 
       G               D 
If you had to leave me why'd you leave me 
A7           D 
For an older man 
 

     D                          D7 
I've known love from a distance 
         G             Em 
And I've felt love up close 
G                D 
You'll be comin' back someday 
            E7           A7 
That's what hurts me the most 
   D                              D7 
By then I'll be so sick and tired 
  G                   E7 
I won't have time for you 
G                D 
Then you'll know how it feels 
   A7             D 
To be an old fool too 
 

        D                        D7 
There's no fool like an old fool 
    G               Em 
I'm livin' proof of that 
    G                 D 
For years it seems my head has been 
       E7               A7 
Just a place to hang my hat 
        D                    D7 
Shoulda known when I met you 
          G        E7 
You could never be true 
        G               D 
There's no fool like an old fool 
           A7                D    
'Cause I'm stil in love with you
