D

Em
like you would not believe and i can't blame 'em
C D

to think about the kind of fool
C G
who breaks his heart as often as the moon
D
shows its face to you..

and i regret to say politely
C G
i'm the guy who'll more than likely lose
D
like i always do..

C D G

for a shot at love and gold
C D
