Title: The Educated Fool Band: Iron Maiden Album: Virtual XI Year: 1998 [Intro] Em C G D x3 Em C D [Verse 1]
         Em
I'm an educated fool

      C                 G               D
So I don't know what is I'm supposed to do

            Em
About this awkward situation

             C                     D
That's been forced down right upon me
[Verse 2]
        Em
As I'm walking down into

       C            G         D
On my own into the valley of life

       Em
Got a lifetime of experience

      C              D
I've got so much to give
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Open the page on chapter one

C                        G             D
Could this just be that life's just begun

Em
Forever within your darker thoughts

    C                G                 D
Reflecting on everything you've been taught
[Verse 3]
      Em
Never felt this way before

            C               G
Seems that somebody's just opened

     D           Em
The door to the book of life
Or is it death?
          C            D
Is there ever any way out?
[Verse 4]
           Em
Someone's looking down on me

        C          G          D
To the very inner core of my soul

            Em
They won't tell me what they see

        C             D
But I really want to know
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I want to live my life on my own

C                   G         D
I want to lift the unturned stone

Em
I want to walk right into the fire

C                   G        D
I want to live out all my desires

Em
I want to go and see the fire burn

C                   G            D
I want to see and feel my world turn

Em
I want to know what more there's to learn

C                   G             D
I want to pass the point of no return
[Verse 5]
        Em
Do you really want to be

       C             D
Just another one statistic

                  Em
Or feel that you really should aspire?

           C                 D
That you really do deserve more?
[Verse 6]
        Em
Do you ever really feel

          C             D
That you have so much potential inside?

          Em
What you really have to give

           C             D
Could be realised much more
[Pre-Chorus]
