[C] [F]
Ok, so you're heart broken
[C] [F]
You sit around mopin', cryin', cryin'
[C] [F]
You say you're even thinking about dying
[C] [F]
Well, before you do anything rash, dig this:
CHORUS
[F] [G7] [C] [E7]
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
[F] [G7] [C] [E7]
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
[F] [G7] [C] [E7]
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
[F] [G7] [C] [F]
Everybody plays the fool
VERSE
[C] [F]
Fallin' in love is such an easy thing to do
[C] [F]
But there's no guarantee that the one you love, is gonna love you
[Em] [Am] [Em] [Am]
Oh, loving eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be
[Dm] [G7]
Love runs deeper than any ocean, it clouds you're mind with emotion
CHORUS
[F] [G7] [C] [E7]
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
[F] [G7] [C] [E7]
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
[F] [G7] [C] [E7]
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
[F] [G7] [C] [F]
Everybody plays the fool
VERSE
[C] [F]
How can you help it, when the music starts to play
[C] [F]
And your ability to reason, is swept away
[Em] [Am] [Em] [Am]
Oh, heaven on earth is all you see, you're out of touch with reality
[Dm] [G7]
And now you cry, but when you do, next time around someone cries for you
CHORUS
[F] [G7] [C] [E7]
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
[F] [G7] [C] [E7]
You use your heart just like a tool, listen baby
[F] [G7] [C] [E7]
They never tell you so in school, I wanna say it again,
[F] [G7] [C] [F]
Everybody plays the fool
