Glen Hansard - Fools Game Chords

[Verse 1]
       C
It's a fool's, fool's game
               F
Lover, that we have to play
            Am
Crashing into each other
         G
No convalescing

      C
It' a leap of faith
               F
Lover, that we blindly take
                 Am
I'm taking it with you and no other
        G
No hesitating


[Chorus 1]
           F
And if our minds they go
        Am
And our bones they shatter
             G
We'll put it on nobody
       F   Am
But ourselves


[Verse 2]
        C
It's an old refrain
               F
Lover, that we hear again
          Am
Urging a cautious measure
             G
Sounding a warning

        C
It's a thin escape
               F
Lover, that we hope to make
                     Am
When we're beaten, broken and battered
           G
Beyond consoling


[Chorus 2]
        F
And the breezes blow
            Am
And to the winds we're scattered
                   G
And we're fending for nobody
       F   Am
But ourselves

[Verse 3]
       C
It's a fool's, fool's game
                          F
When you've nothing but a heart to break
                 Am
Better keep on breaking it, lover
         G
Until it opens

        C
It's a speeding train
                    F
Beating through the pouring rain
                 Am
With no way to slow or stop it
                     G
And the tracks are broken


[Chorus 3]
       F
Like a rising wave
              Am
Through the storms we gather
                  G
And we're falling on nobody
       F   Am
But ourselves


[Instrumental 2]
|C   |F   |Am  |G   |
|C   |F   |Am  |G   |
|F   |Am  |G   |F Am|
