VERSE:
C
I used to try and be the cool guy
Am
When all the ladies would walk by

F
I’d lean my back against the wall
G
Sunglasses on and all
C
Pull ‘em down and wink an eye

VERSE:
N.C. C
But something changed when you walked past
D
My heart it started beating real fast

F
Now I’m saying stupid things
G
Tripping over my own feet
C
You ruined my whole act

CHORUS:
N.C. C
You got me acting like the fool that I am
C
I used to play it cool, now I can’t

F
Well since you’ve gone and seen
G
What’s really underneath
C C
Exposing me for a sham

F F C
You got these stars just a dancin’ in my eyes
Am
I can hardly stand these butterflies

F
Please excuse me m’am
G
I’ve gone and shown my hand
N.C. C
For the fool that I am

VERSE:
C
I used to wanna be like James Dean
D
Not phased by anyone or anything

F
But now I’m wiping away drool
G
Like a love drunk kid in school
C
And letting my heart sing

CHORUS:
N.C. C
You got me acting like the fool that I am
C
I used to play it cool, now I can’t

F
Since you’ve gone and seen
G
What’s really underneath
C
Exposing me for a sham

F F C
You got these stars just a dancin’ in my eyes
Am
And I can hardly stand these butterflies

Well please excuse me m’am
G
I’ve gone and shown my hand

For the fool that I, I I am
