Foolish One

[Verse 1] G My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand Cadd9 Chances are, tonight, you've already got plans Am C G And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high Cadd9 Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right Am C G And I will block out these voices of reason in my head [Pre-Chorus] D C G D And the voices say, "You are not the exception C D You will never learn your lesson" Chorus G Foolish one Cadd9 Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love That ain't never gonna come Am D You will take the long way, you will take the long way down [Verse 2] G You know how to keep me waitin' I know how to act like I'm fine Cadd9 Don't know what to call this situation But I know I can't call you mine Am C G And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof 'Cause when my head is on your shoulder It starts thinkin' you'll come around Cadd9 And maybe, someday, when we're older This is something we'll laugh about Am C G Over coffee every mornin' while you're watching the news D C G D But then the voices say, "You are not the exception [Pre-Chorus] C D You will never learn your lesson" Chorus G Foolish one Cadd9 Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love That ain't never gonna come Am D You will take the long way, you will take the long way down G Foolish one Cadd9 Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love That ain't never gonna come Am D You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out Bridge Em C Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands G D Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?" Em Oh, y ou haven't written me or called C But goodbye screamin' in the silence G D And the voices in my head are tellin' me why [Verse 3] G 'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings Cadd9 I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring Am C G And you will say you had the best of intentions Am C D And maybe I will finally learn my lesison Chorus G Foolish one Cadd9 Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love That ain't never gonna come Am D You will take the long way, you will take the long way down G Foolish one Cadd9 Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love That ain't never gonna come Am D You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out [Post-Chorus] G Lalalalala lalalalalala, oh Cadd9 Lalalalala Ain't never gonna come Am D Ooh, you will learn the hard way now Chorus G Foolish one Cadd9 Sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love They ain't never gonna come Am D And thinkin' he's the one, you should've been walkin' out G Foolish one Cadd9 The day is gonna come for your confessions of love Am When all is said and done, he just wasn't the one D G No, he just wasn't the one
