[Chorus]
               Em
Oh, it takes a fool to love you
            C            G
It takes a fool to love you
             Em      A7
It takes a fool to love you
         C        C/D      G
Oh, and I'm just the fool for you
 
[Verse 1]
G                    Em
I really did it to myself I guess
G                          Em
I saw you standing in that cocktail dress
G                             C
Oh, call the press and say my life is a mess
        C          C/D     G
Because I must confess to you
                 G       Em
That it takes a fool to love you
           C        G
It takes a fool to love you
            Em      A7
It takes a fool to love you
             C        C/D      G
Oh, and I'm just the fool for you

[Bridge]
Am       C/D          G
Fool me once, it's shame on you
Am       C/D          G
Twice, it's shame on me
Am           C/D          G          Em
But fool me baby for the rest of my life
             A7                  C/D           D7
And I'll be happy, happy as a broken man can be
 
[Chorus]
                    C       G
'Cause it takes a fool (fool)
             C      G
It takes a fool (fool)
           Em       A7
It takes a fool to love you
          G                  G
Oh, and I'm just the fool for you
 
[Outro]
Am              C/D     G
I'm just the fool for you
Am              C/D     G
I'm just the fool for you
Am              C/D     G
I'm just the fool for you
Am              C/D     G
I'm just the fool for you
Am              C/D     G
I'm just the fool for you
