Bm C# Bm F#m C#7 Bm


[Verse]
Bm
Same old situation
C#
Coming back again
Bm
And I suppose it's been the
C#
Fate of many, many men
Bm
I tried, and tried
C#
And tried, and tried to please that girl
Bm
Oh, but I found out
F#m                      C#7
It simply does not end


[Chorus]
D
Fool somebody else
E
Do it to yourself
F#m
Mama, tell me how it feels
D
When you hold somebody tight
E
Just to see 'em go in the middle of the night
Bm
Would you give up all your love

If you already knew it would never be enough
D
Put my heart back on the shelf
E            F#m
Why don't you fool somebody else


[Verse]
Bm
Here we go again
C#
We've reached the bitter, bitter end
Bm
And there's no more life
C#
I lost my bestest, precious friend
Bm
You've tried, I've lied, you've cried
C#
About anything at all
F#m
And I still found out
C#7
I'm never gonna win


[Chorus]
D
Fool somebody else
E
Do it to yourself
F#m
Mama, tell me how it feels
D
When you hold somebody tight
E
Just to see 'em go in the middle of the night
F#m
Would you give up all your love
D
If you already knew it would never be enough
E
Put my heart back on the shelf
F#m
Why don't you fool somebody else

D
Fool somebody else
E
Do it to yourself
F#m
Like you're doing it to me
D
Hold somebody close
E
Knowing very well that they're just about to leave
F#m
Trust them with your heart
D
Even though you know they'd betray you, from the start
E
Fool somebody else
F#m
'Cause what you're doing ain't good for my health

D
Fool somebody else
E
Do it to yourself
F#m
Mama, tell me how it feels
D
When you hold somebody tight
E
Just to see 'em go in the middle of the night
F#m
Would you give up all your love
D
If you already knew it would never be enough
E
Put my heart back on the shelf
F#m
Why don't you fool somebody else
