Taylor Swift - Foolish One
Key: G
BPM: ♩ = 97
Time: 4/4
My
||G |
cards are on the table,
|G |
yours are in your hand,
|Cadd9 |
chances are, tonight, you’ve-
|Cadd9 |
already got plans, and-
||Am |
chances are I will
|C |
talk myself to sleep a-
|G |
gain,
|G |
you give me-
||G |
just enough attention-
|G |
to keep my hopes too high, wishful
|Cadd9 |
thoughts forget to mention-
|Cadd9 |
when something’s really not right, and-
||Am |
I will block out these
|Cadd9 |
voices of reason in my
|G |
head,
|D |
and the voices say-
||C |
“You are not
|G
the ex-
D/F# |
ception,
|C |
you will never
|D |
learn your lesson”
||G |
Foolish one, stop
|G |
checking your mailbox for con-
|Cadd9 |
fessions of love, that ain’t
|Cadd9 |
never gonna come-
||Am |
You will take the long way,
|Am |
you will take the long way
|D |
down,
|D |
you know-
||G |
how to keep me waiting, I know
|G |
how to act like I’m fine, don’t know what to
|Cadd9 |
call this situation, but I
|Cadd9 |
know I can’t call you mine, and it’s-
||Am |
delicate, but I will
|Cadd9 |
do my best to seem bullet-
|G |
proof,
|G |
’cause when my-
||G |
head is on your shoulder, it starts
|G |
thinking you’ll come around, and maybe
|Cadd9 |
someday when we’re older, this is
|Cadd9 |
something we’ll laugh about, over-
||Am |
coffee every
|Cadd9 |
morning while you’re watching the
|G |
news,
|D |
but then the voices say-
||C |
“You are not
|G
the ex-
D/F# |
ception,
|C |
you will never
|D |
learn your lesson”
||G |
Foolish one, stop
|G |
checking your mailbox for con-
|Cadd9 |
fessions of love, that ain’t
|Cadd9 |
never gonna come-
||Am |
You will take the long way,
|Am |
you will take the long way
|D |
down-
||G |
Foolish one, stop
|G |
checking your mailbox for con-
|Cadd9 |
fessions of love, that ain’t
|Cadd9 |
never gonna come-
||Am |
You will learn the hard way in-
|Am |
stead of just walking
|D |
out,
|D |
now I’m-
||Em |
sliding down the wall with my
|C |
head in my hands, saying “
|G |
How could I not see the
|D |
signs?” Oh, you havn’t-
||Em |
written me or called, but goodbye
|C |
screaming in the silence, and the
|G |
voices in my head are telling
|D |
me why,
|D |
’cause-
||G |
you got her on your
|G |
arm and me in the wings, I’ll
|Cadd9 |
get your longing glan-
|Cadd9 |
ces, but she’ll get your ring, and-
||Am |
you will say you
|C |
had the best of intent-
|G |
ions,
|G |
and-
||Am |
maybe I will finally
|C
learn my
D |
lesson-
||G |
Foolish one, stop
|G |
checking your mailbox for con-
|Cadd9 |
fessions of love, that ain’t
|Cadd9 |
never gonna come-
||Am |
You will take the long way,
|Am |
you will take the long way
|D |
down-
||G |
Foolish one, stop
|G |
checking your mailbox for con-
|Cadd9 |
fessions of love, that ain’t
|Cadd9 |
never gonna come-
||Am |
You will learn the hard way in-
|Am |
stead of just walking
|D |
out,
|D |
oh-oh, oh, oh-
||G |
La-la-la-la-la, la-
|G |
la-la-la-la, oh,
|Cadd9 |
la-la-la-la-la, ain’t
|Cadd9 |
never gonna come-
||Am |
Ooh,
|Am |
you will learn the hard
|D |
way now-
|D |
||G |
Foolish one,
|G |
sitting ’round waiting for con-
|Cadd9 |
fessions of love, they ain’t
|Cadd9 |
never gonna come, and-
||Am |
thinking he’s the one, you
|Am |
should’ve been walking
|D |
out-
|D |
||G |
Foolish one, the
|G |
day is gonna come for your con-
|Cadd9 |
fessions of love, when
|Cadd9 |
all is said and done, he-
||Am |
just wasn’t the one,
|Am |
no, he
|D |
just wasn’t the one-
|D |
||G |
