Glen Hansard - Fool’s Game

no capo!

[verse (1)]

C
It’s a fool’s, fool’s game
F
Lover, that we have to play
Am
Crashing into each other
G
No convalescing

C
It’s a leap of faith
F
Lover, that we blindly take
Am
I’m taking it with you and no other
G
No hesitating

[verse (2)]

F
And if our minds they go
Am
And our bones they shatter
G
We’ll put it on nobody
F Am
But ourselves

[verse (3)]

C
It’s an old refrain
F
Lover, that we hear again
Am
Urging a cautious measure
G
Sounding a warning

C
It’s a thin escape
F
Lover, that we hope to make
Am
When we’re beaten broken and battered
G
Beyond consoling

[verse (4)]

F
And the breezes blow
Am
And to the winds we’re scattered
G
And we’re fending for nobody
F Am
But ourselves

[instrumantul]

C F Am G
C F Am G

[verse (5)]

C
It’s a fool’s, fool’s game
F
When you’ve nothing but a heart to break
Am
Better keep on breaking it, lover
G
Until it opens

C
It’s a speeding train
F
Beating through the pouring rain
Am
With no way to slow or stop it
G
And the tracks are broken

[verse (6)]

F
Like a rising wave
Am
Through the storms we gather
G
And we’re falling on nobody
F Am
But ourselves
