More Fool Me

B F#(add G#) D#m
Here am I, who while away the mornings, since you've gone

C#m G#m B F#
Too long have I lain alone, not knowing which way to turn

B F#(add G#) D#m
And there you are, quite sure that you were right

C#m G#m B F#
Knowing full well, that I'd be the first one to go down

Bsus B
And you'd be the one who was laughing

F#m7 E
Except when things weren't going your way

G#m7
And then the lady would say that she'd had enough

C#m7 F#
Wandering around on her own

B F#(add G#) D#m
The day you left, well I think you knew you'd not be back

C#m G#m D#sus D#
Well at least it would seem that way, because you never said goodbye

B G#m
But when it comes round to you and me

E B
I'm sure it will work out alright

Bsus B
And you'd be the one who was laughing

F#m7 E
And giving me something I don't need

G#m7
And you know I'd always hold you and keep you warm

D#sus D#
Oh, more fool me

B G#m
Oh but when it comes round to you and me

E B G#m
I ask myself do I really believe in your love

E B
And yes I'm sure it will work out alright
