From: [email protected] [Intro] Em7 Gmaj7 A A/B Em7 Gmaj7 A F#dim7 [Chorus]
        Em7     Dmaj7
I was a fool to care

        F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7
I was a fool to care

        Em7     Dmaj7
I was a fool to care

    Bm Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7        A4        A
but I don't care even if I was a fool

    Dmaj7              F#7sus4  F#7
I'm still in love with you
[Verse]
Bm7   Gmaj7           F#m7
Had I listened to the grapevine

  Em7        A4     Dmaj7
I might have had my doubts

Bm7       Gmaj7    F#m7     Bm7     E7     D/F#
But I did my level best just to block them out

G     A4     A7    D/C#     Bm7/A
'Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes

       G                  D
And it took a while for a fool to see

         E4                E7
what his friends were on about
[Chorus]
        G    A     D
I was a fool to care

      F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7
I was a fool to care

        Em7     Dmaj7
I was a fool to care

Bm        Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7   A4    A
but I don't care even if I was a fool

    D                  Bm
I'm still in love with you
[Bridge]
 C             G
Imagining your face,

 C     Am7       Dmaj7       D
it almost fills the empty space before me

C              G        Fmaj7            Em7     A7
I can see your eyes and almost hear your lovely lies
F#7sus4 F#7 [Verse]
Bm7             Gmaj7 F#m7
I wish I was an old man

     Em7       A4         Dmaj7
and love was through with me

Bm7            Gmaj7  F#m7  Bm7    E7 D/F#
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee

        G     A4      A7      D/C#     B/A
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line

     G                 D
Just keeping track of time

        Bm            E7
without all these memories
[Chorus]
        G    A     D
I was a fool to care

      F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7
I was a fool to care

        Em7     Dmaj7
I was a fool to care

Bm      Gmaj7      F#m7     Em7      A4   A
but I don't care even if I was a fool

    D                  F#7sus4 F#7
I'm still in love with you

      Bm7    Am7  Gmaj7
Baby, yes, I am
[Verse]
  F#m7       Em7 Gmaj7  A    A/B
I could have opened my eyes

             Em7  Gmaj7        A    A/B
I could have seen through your lies

             Em7   Gmaj7  A    A/B
I could have stood for no more

             Em7    Gmaj7    A   F#dim7
I could have walked out the door
[Chorus]
Em7       Dmaj7       F#7sus4        F#7       Bm7
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care

    Em7       Dmaj7      F#7sus4      F#7      Bm7
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care. (repeat and fade)
