              Intro: Gm   D# Bb   C D#      Gm 
 
Gm              D# 
  In days gone by  
Bb              C 
  There was a king  
D#          
  A fool for love  
               Gm 
  And all it brings  
 
  So high and wise  
  Could read your mind  
  A fool for love  
  And love is blind  
 
  A crowded street  
  An empty train  
  A fool for love  
  You cry in vain  
 
Gm            C 
  A fool for love 
  A fool for love 
  A fool for love 
 
  In days gone by  
  There was a queen  
  A fool for love  
  And all it means  
 
  Red ruby lips  
  Don't touch me eyes  
  A fool for love  
  And love is blind  
 
  A fool for love 
  A fool for love 
  A fool for love 
 
Bb                     D# 
  Like flowers in the rain 
                    Gm  
  I'm twisted up inside  
                     D 
  I'll never be the same  
  I hear the same old lines  
  You played me for a fool  
  You really hurt my pride  
 
Verse 
 
  A fool for love 
  A fool for love 
  A fool for love 
 
  In days gone by  
  There was a king  
  A fool for love  
  And all it brings  
 
  So high and wise  
  Could read your mind  
  A fool for love  
  And love is blind
