Patty Loveless – Born-Again Fool (Guitar)

   C         F              C           G 
He sits on a park bench and stares into space

         C             F               G         C
Thinking of his bright future that has now been erased

                F           C           G 
He once loved a woman whose love wasn't true

    C          F          G          C     Cadd9  C  Cadd9
Now all that remains is a born-again fool

   C                F           C          G 
Mistakes, he's made many in his passage of life

    C           F              G             C
But she was the first wrong he couldn't make right

                F           C         G 
She left him no reason, she left no excuse

        C            F          G          C 
All she left was the shell of a born-again fool

  F                           C 
Believing that her love would be his salvation 

    F                            C         G 
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation

 C            F             C             G     
Another false idol, another heart torn in two 

            C         F         G          C 
Oh, there's no one as lost as a born-again fool

         C            F              C           G 
Well, he gave all she asked for, she took all he had

    C            F            G            C
She made him her puppet, with no strings attached

               F           C        G 
He did all she wanted, but he never knew

        C       F       G          C 
She was only creating a born-again fool

  F                           C 
Believing that her love would be his salvation 

    F                            C         G 
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation

 C            F             C             G     
Another false idol, another heart torn in two 

            C         F         G          Am   F  C  Cadd9  C  F  G
Oh, there's no one as lost as a born-again fool______

   C         F                C         G 
He sits on a park bench still wondering why

       C              F         G          C
As the whole world, unnoticing, passes him by 

                  F                C            G 
Such a forlorn conclusion that his life led him to

  C            F              G          C 
Betrayed and deceived, he's a born-again fool
