Intro: C – Dm/C – F – G –
A9-AM7 Bm7/A E7sus E7 A9-AM7
Before you go away to the one you do belong
Bm7/A E7sus E7 F#m7
So glad we met and you stayed, for it wasn’t very long
F#7sus F#7 B7sus-B7 Bm7 E7
Was it only just a dream? It’s over now, it seems.
A9-AM7 Bm7/A E7sus E7 A9-AM7
If there were no goodbyes, would you say that you still cared?
Bm7/A E7sus E7 F#m7
I won’t believe my eyes when I see you won’t be there
F#7sus F#7 B7sus-B7 Bm7-E7
‘Cause this love’s so hard to find, now you’re leaving me behind.
F/G
Oh please
Refrain:
C9 G/C Dm7 G
Show me, and tell me, how do you put this love aside?
Dm7 G C9 C
Put it away for another time, with no guarantee that you’ll be mine?
Dm7 G G/F Em7 E7/G# Am7
A fool I am it seems, ‘cause I’ll be loving you in my dreams
FM7 C/E Dm7 Am7
‘til I wake up, and I find out time ain’t our friend
Dm7 F/G C
You know I’ll just stay a fool ‘til the end.
Dm7 Em7 E7sus E7
(‘Til the end, I’ll be a fool, ‘til I find it’s me and you…)
If it only was a game, why’d you have to fool my heart?
Oh, girl, ain’t it a shame that we promised from the start
That our love was here to stay for each and every day
If I had only known, if I didn’t have to care
Then being all alone wouldn’t be so hard to bear
This love’s so hard to find, and now we’re leaving it behind
Oh please (Ref)
Em7 F E7/G# Am7
I may be over-acting, I know I must stay strong
FM7 C/E Dm7 F/G
But you pulled the strings too hard, and now we’re going on our own …
(Ref, except last line)
Dm7 F/G Am7 – Am7/G - FM7 – C/E
You know I’ll just stay a fool ‘til the end, ‘til the end,
Dm7 F/G C
You know I’ll just stay a fool ‘til the end.
