INTRO: D (once)

There's Dno fool like an D7old fool
I'm Glivin' proof of Emthat
For Gyears it seems my Dhead has been
Just a E7place to hang my A7hat
Shoulda Dknown when I met youD7
You Gcould never be E7true
There's Gno fool like an Dold fool
'Cause I'm A7still in love with Dyou

You Bmcame to me so swGeetly
And you A7took me by my Dhand
You Bmsaid you had to F#mleave me
But you'd E7still be my best A7friend
And if I Dlive to be a hundredD7
I will Gnever underE7stand
If you Ghad to leave me Dwhy'd you leave me
A7For an older Dman

I've Dknown love from a distanceD7
And I've Gfelt love up cEmlose
GYou'll be comin' Dback someday
That's what E7hurts me the A7most
By Dthen I'll be so sick and tiredD7
I Gwon't have time for E7you
GThen you'll know Dhow it feels
To A7be an old fool Dtoo

There's Dno fool like an old foolD7
I'm Glivin' proof of Emthat
For Gyears it seems my Dhead has been
Just a E7place to hang my A7hat
Shoulda Dknown when I met youD7
You could Gnever be E7true
There's Gno fool like an Dold fool
'Cause I'm A7stil in love with Dyou
