Well I w[A]aited and I waited up at day and night
[D]Thinking that my phone would ring.[F#m]
[A]But you never gave me a secon[F#m]d thought
And told[H] all your friends about me.[E]
Yes you to[A]ld them all about what a clown I was
And how you had [D]me on the end of a strin[F#m]g
Now I go[A]t a title for which Im known[F#m]
And thats the F[H]ool of the Cent[E]ury[A]
Ref.
Well you seem s[C#]o close
But just out of reach
Im always chas[F#m]ing something down the road
And its [H]way too late, Ive shoulda learned my lesson
A lo[E]ng long time ago.
But now no matte[A]r where I wander
All over town
[D]I can hear them laughing at me[F#m]
Yes the[A]y all whisper when I walk by:[F#m]
There goes the foo[H]l of the cent[E]ury[A]
Solo (1x Ref.)
Well I tried my best to look like happy-hie
With your first class company
But they all looked at me in disbelieve
And didnt take me seriously
Well now I followed you around for a long long time
Practically down on my knees
Then they all sent me to the head of the class
As the fool of the century.
Ref.
Yes, the fo[H]ol of the cen[E]tury[A][F#m]
Mmmh, the fool o[H]f the century! [E][A]
