[Intro] C Dm - Am G Bb G C Dm - Am G F G [Verse 1]
Am                    C           F
Young and bright, but now just a dim light

C           G
Off in the distance

Am              C               F
A falling stone, following the path

C           G
Of least resistance

F            C
If I still fight

F               C
It's just that I'm

F             C                G
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again
F G [Chorus]
C             Dm - Am
Taken for a fool

Yes I was because I was a fool

Tell me what you'd do,     

G         Bb       G          C           Dm - Am
I lost my way and she took me to school
G F G [Verse 2]
Am              C              F
So many times caught up in my head at night

         C           G
With a leash and a label

Am            C                        F
If I can learn anything from this then I'd be like

      C          G
The fox in the fable oh I

F            C
If I still fight

F               C
It's just that I'm

F             C                G
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again

Dm                       G
The way we used to carry on

Dm                                   G
is stuck in my head like a terrible song
F G [Chorus]
C             Dm - Am
Taken for a fool

Yes I was and I was a fool

C                Dm - Am 
Following their rules

Guess I was a very honest tool

Taken for a fool

Yes I was because I was a fool
