[G]His heart's been through the ri[D]nger a time or two
[G]Poor boy, I g[C]uess he never knew
[G]What'll happen if you c[D]lose your eyes
And [C]let your heart go to l[D]ovin' blind
[G]Fool him once, o[D]h now shame on you
[G]Fool him twice, we[C]ll I guess he should've knew
[G]I guess his heart was b[D]orn to burn
[C]I think some fools ne[D]ver learn
(Chorus)
[G]A fool and his h[D]eart
[G]How soon they [C]part
[G]He just can't h[D]old on to [C]it for very lo[D]ng
[G]He's the first one to f[D]all
[G]Now he can't help himself at a[C]ll
[G]Separated from the s[D]tart
That old [C]fool[D] and his he[G]art
The poor boy's been hurt so many times
Goes and lays his heart out on the line
The stakes are high he's a gamblin' man
He'll roll the dice, he'll take the chance
When the chips down he'll never make the score
Always seems to keep coming back for more
I guess his heart was born to burn
I think some fools never learn
(Chorus 2x)
