(capo 3rd fret)
A G
I was always running scared it’s true
A D
I was always running back to you
Bm
Running never takes you home
G
You’re running wild and all alone
D A
And lost you pay the cost
A G
You held my heart right in your hand
A D
You always seemed to understand
Bm
I played it right I played it wrong
G
I played around with love too long
D A
Love’s a game that anyone can lose
Chorus:
Em
Love breaks the rules
Bm
A kind man turns cruel
D A
What begins a dream will end a lie
Em A D Em A D
Love makes a fool of the wise
A G
Old friends don’t seem to hang around
A D
They whisper that she’s leaving town
Bm
They say that I was cruel
G
They say I played the perfect fool
D A
A fool that never learned the ways of love
Repeat Chorus Twice
Em A D Em A D (end)
Love makes a fool of the wise
