G/F - 1X0033

Capo 3

G               G/F#
I was a fool to say it was over
G/F                     C
I was concerned with my pride
    G                   G/F#
The words are crazy and fall out of place
          C                 D 
From this heartache I can't hide

I hear your name in slow conversation
I see your face in the crowd
My heart desires so many things
That my pride just can't allow


Chorus:
D                   C
I'd close down this heart tomorrow
D               C 
Leave without a fight
D              C    C/B   ??   
Say goodbye to your sweet memory
         C                  Am
If I can lie in your arms tonight
         C      D           G
If I can lie in your arms tonight


Was I the fool to think you would see me
When all I wanted was you
Then I saw your eyes go through those changes
And wondered how you knew

I hear your name in slow conversation
I close my eyes and I know
I'd never find a way to deceive you
I just can't let you go

Chorus

I was a fool to say it was over
