[Intro]
G D7 G
[Verse]
G C G This morning, I am leaving, I've been up all night long D7 You're right, I'm tired of waiting for you to come home G C G I've begged and tried to change you, but you've grown worse each day D7 G G7 If I'm a fool for leaving, I'd be twice the fool to stay
[Chorus]
C G I'd rather be called foolish and find somebody else D7 Than to be a fool forever and not forgive myself G C G I'm exactly what you've made me, but I hope to change someday D7 G If I'm a fool for leaving, I'd be twice the fool to stay
