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
