Fools Paradise    (Listen to sample)

 

             D

1. You took me up to heaven, and then you took me in your arms,

              G

   I was dazzled by your beauty, blinded by your charms.

              A                         D                      A                            D

   I was lost in Fools Paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.

 

                          D

2. But then you told me that you loved me,

 

    and then I gave my heart to you.

                         G

    But, well,  I wondered if there could be any truth in love so new,

              A                            D                      A                            D

   I was lost in a Fools Paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.

 

            G

The whole world was my kingdom,

                D

and your love became my crown,

                   E

but when I saw you then with a new romance,

                        G  - - - - -  G - - - - -  A

you know, my love came tumbling down.

 

                      D

3. Well  you treat kind of coolish, and you never love me enough,

                     G

     and you think I'm being foolish because I love you so.

                     A                           D                       A                            D

     I still get lost in a Fools paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.

     I still get lost in a Fools paradise, lost with you in a Fools Paradise.
