Intro:  A
 
  A                                                  
A fool never learns, to get away  
                                          E 
Just run away before his heart begins to break  
 E                                                          
A fool never learns, he'll wait around  
                                                      A                        
Just hang around to see how much his heart can take  
  A7                                                  D  
A fool never learns to some girls love is just a game  
                                 A  
And some girls treat all fools the same  
   A                                 D               E7              A   A (tacet) 
A fool never learns, and I'm gonna do a very foolish thing  
             A 
I'm gonna stick by you, I'm gonna hang around, wait around  
                                             A (tacet) 
Hope she'll love me again some day  
               E7                                      A  
They say a broken heart don't mark the end of time  
                    E7                                A  
That there are lots of girls who'd love to be just mine  
    A7                                          D                            
But I don't believe that I could fall in love again  
                  A  
 I just can't remove the pain  
  A                                   D             E7              A  
A fool never learns, and I'm gonna do a very foolish thing  
              A  
I'm gonna stick by you, I'm gonna hang around, wait around  
                                              A (tacet) 
Hope she'll love me again some day  
                E7                                    A 
They say a broken heart don't mark the end of time  
                   E7                                 A  
That there are lots of girls who'd love to be just mine  
    A7                                          D                             
But I don't believe that I could fall in love again  
                  A  
 I just can't remove the pain  A fool never learns 
          D              E7              A  
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing  
           D             E7               A  
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing  
           D          E7                 A  
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing
