Intro: / E7 E7 / A A /
       E7                    E7
As you look into my eyes and tell those empty lies
        A                                A
I'll pretend they're true, 'cause that's what I do
       E7                       E7
As you sit and hold my hand and smile at other men
        A                          A
I'll pretend I'm blind, 'cause I'm just that kind

C#                                       F#m
   I'm the king of fools and I'll always reign
B                      E7
   Over loneliness and pain
C#                             F#m
   The king of fools wears his crown
B                         E7
   Wherever misery can be found

   Wherever misery can be found

       E7                       E7
As you walk away with him and I lose in love again
        A                        A
I'll pretend to see, that you're still with me
         E7                         E7
But I'll be there all alone, like a king upon a throne
       E7              A
'Cause I'm the king of fools
     E7              A
Yes, I'm the king of fools
