Intro: G   D7   G   Bb   C   D7 
 
Verse 1 
 
 G 
   Had the time of my life 
 D7                  G 
   Before I could see what was really going on 
                C 
   And what you really thought of me. 
 C             G   G/F#   Em 
   Look at me now, eyes open wide, 
 A                                  D7  
   Wiser today and driving away with my shattered pride. 
 
Chorus 1 
 
 G        B        C        D7 
   Now I'm nobody's fool 
 G             Em     C       D7 
   It ain't no fun anymore 
 G                    B        C        D7 
   Cause now that I'm nobody's fool 
                 G       C      G      D7 
   I'd rather be yours...yours 
 
Verse 2 
 
 G         
   Well you know what they say 
 D7 
   The truth sets you free 
 G                                  C 
   And that's just great unless you don't wanna be 
 C 
   And you can keep the last laugh, 
           G       G/F#      Em 
   Cause I don't like how it feels 
           A 
   When you save face, but your heart breaks 
              D7 
   Well you've cut the wrong deal. 
 
Chorus 2 
 
 G         B        C        D7 
   Now I'm nobody's fool 
 G            Em      C         D7    
   I miss the way it was before 
 G                B        C        D7 
   Don't wanna be nobody's fool 
              G     C     G    E
   I wanna be your, your, yours 
 
Bridge 
 
                   C 
   Cause I'm a fool anyway 
             C 
   Whether I leave or stay 
      G           D7         G    E 
   So why, why did I have to run? 
          C 
   I wanna make you laugh, 
          C 
   I wanna make you smile, 
          G           Em             A      D7 
   I wanna feel like I belong to someone.

 G         B 
   Now I'm nobody's fool 
 G             Em    C      D7 
   It ain't no fun anymore 
 G                    B       C       D7 
   Cause now that I'm nobody's fool 
              G      C      G      D7 
   I wanna be yours, yours 
 
 G                B Bm     C
