When I Was a Fool Concrete Blonde
Intro
[Am] [Em] [Bb]
I re-[Am]read silly lines That made [Em]sense at the time
[Bb]Pages all stained with tears and red wine
And I [Am]walk through the airport and [Em]see magazines
Every [Bb]face that I see So much younger than me
And I [Am]smile to myself how I [Em]don't even miss
My [Bb]glorious past or the lips that I've kissed
And I [Am]think to myself that how [Em]easy this is
[Bb]Easy to breathe, easy to live
[C]And I wonder why I [Bb]tear myself in [Am]two
Over [C]how to be, [Bb]what to say and what to [Am]do
And I [C]know you liked me [Bb]better then
And I [Am]know you liked me
[D]better when I was a [Am]fool[Em]
...I was a [Bb]fool
...[Am]mm[Em]
...I was a [Bb]fool
...[Am]mm[Em]
[Am]So [Em]I l[Bb]ive in these days
But I still have my old ways
'cause the future,
somehow, has yet to arrive
And I see all around me the women on time
Kids and divorces and crisis in midlife
and do I surrender and give up my dream
for a brick in the wall and
a washing machine
grow up and get real
for a kid in their teens
who won't care what I've done
where I've been, what I've seen
[C]And[Bb] I w[Am]onder why I tear myself in two
over who to be, how to be and what to do
and I know you liked me better then
and I know you liked me
[D]better when I was a [Am]fool[Em]
...I...was a [Bb]fool
...I was a [Am]fool[Em]
...I was a [Bb]fool
[Am]I'm[Em] fr[Bb]ee to a fault
I'm 45
I'm playing guitar
I'm living my life
Fly down the highway
Sun on my face
I belong to nobody
I belong to no place
