[Intro]
I improvise between Dmaj7 and A before going to D to start the song.
[Verse 1]
D A
Why do I go on fooling myself
Bm F#m
When I know you love somebody else
G A Dmaj7 A
Only a fool breaks his own heart
[Verse 2]
D A
I pretend that I don't see
Bm F#m
You walking with him on the street
G A D D7
Only a fool breaks his own heart
[Chorus]
G F#
I have to admit
D G
Even though it hurt me so
G F#
I can't forget
F G
If I'm a man I'll let you go
[Verse 3]
D A
There's no sense in holding on
Bm F#m
To an old love that's gone
G A Dmaj7 A
Only a fool breaks his own heart
[Instrumental]
D A Bm F#m G A D D7
[Chorus]
G F#
I have to accept
D G
Even though it hurt me so
G F#
I can't forget
F G
If I'm a man I'll let you go
[Verse 4]
D A
There's no sense in holding on
Bm F#m
To an old love that's gone
G A F# G
Only a fool breaks his own heart
G A Dmaj7 A
Only a fool breaks his own heart
