INTRO: D (once)

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

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

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

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