That’ll make me hate your name forever

D#              Fm
You might swear, you’d never touch a lady

Well, let me say, you’re not too far from maybe

Every day you find new ways to hurt me

Chorus:
             D#        A#          Fm
But I can’t help it if I’m just a fool
        D#        A#          Fm
Always having my heart set on you
           D#              A#          Fm
‘Till the time you start changing the rules
            D#         A#            Fm
I’ll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
G#m       D#
Ahh ahh, fool

God resigned from hearing my old story
Every night, I'm paying hell for glory
I'm embarrassed, but I'm much more sorry

All this pain begins to feel like pleasure
With my tears, you'd make a sea a desert
Salt my wounds and I’ll keep saying, "Thank you"

Chorus

But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Til the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ahh ahh, fool

I can't help it, baby

Ahh, fool

I can't help it, baby
G#m   D#
Ahh, fool
        A#        Fm
I can't help it, baby
G#m    D#
Ahh, fool
         A#       Fm        G#m
I can't help it, baby, baby ehh
          Cm
Ahh ahh, fool

       F
I'm a fool
      G#
I'm a fool
G#m  D#
Ahh, ahh
