Dm                                     A#maj7
In the silence of your mind, you should ask yourself
F               Am               Dm
What it is that makes you who are
                                       A#maj7
In the valley of your soul, you should take a walk
         F             Am
But you never go that far

Chorus:
      A#sus2      Bm7-5
It's strange, that I should know
                    F/C
you better than you do
            Dm  Dsus2 Dm
You lovely fool
   A#sus2        Bm7-5
So strange, that everybody sees your
              F/C
light shine through
            C
Except for you

In the window of your past
There's a broken pane
Reflecting all the things that make you sad
In the shadow of your fear
There's no hiding place
So why do you run there?

Chorus:
It's strange
That I should know you better than you do
You lovely fool
So strange
That you should want to live your whole life through
Broken and blue

G#                       D#
You're a martyr for the cause
A#                             F
But what the cause is I'm not sure
G#                      D#
Sure it ends with no applause
           Gsus4  G
Except for yours

In the church of all my dreams
I'll say a prayer
That one day you'll believe

CHORUS
      A#sus2      Bm7-5
It's strange, that I should know
                    F/C
you better than you do
            Dm  Dsus2 Dm
You lovely fool
   A#sus2        Bm7-5
So strange, that everybody sees your
              F/C
light shine through
            C C#dim7
Except for you
          Dm     Dmmaj7   A#maj7 F A7/E Dm
You lovely   fool,     oh.
