C F C F
[VERSE]
C F
Ok, so you're heart broken
C F
You sit around mopin', cryin', cryin'
C F
You say you're even thinking about dying
C F
Well, before you do anything rash, dig this:
[CHORUS]
F G7 C E7
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
F G7 C E7
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
F G7 C E7
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
F G7 C F
Everybody plays the fool
[VERSE]
C F
Fallin' in love is such an easy thing to do
C F
But there's no guarantee that the one you love, is gonna love you
Em Am Em Am
Oh, loving eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be
Dm G7
Love runs deeper than any ocean, it clouds you're mind with emotion
[CHORUS]
F G7 C E7
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
F G7 C E7
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
F G7 C E7
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
F G7 C F
Everybody plays the fool
[VERSE]
C F
How can you help it, when the music starts to play
C F
And your ability to reason, is swept away
Em Am Em Am
Oh, heaven on earth is all you see, you're out of touch with reality
Dm G7
And now you cry, but when you do, next time around someone cries for you
[CHORUS]
F G7 C E7
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
F G7 C E7
You use your heart just like a tool, listen baby
F G7 C E7
They never tell you so in school, I wanna say it again,
F G7 C F
Everybody plays the fool
