DAN MANGAN - FOOL FOR WAITING
chords transposed by David Martin
[Verse 1]
C G
I can't tell you what it means
D Em
When you are here, I am at ease
C G
I don't blame you when you're gone
D Em
For the sadness in my song
C G
That weight is mine alone, that shadow is my own
D/F# Em
The coast is never clear
C G
I'll wait for morning though, you will arrive
D Em
So we can watch that shadow disappear
[Chorus]
C G D G
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
C Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
G C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind
G C
They tell me Give it up
G Em
But I won't ever give it up
[Verse 2]
C G
Because when the night does fade
D Em
I'm alive in the strangest way
C G
Those first few cracks of dawn
D Em
Are a taste of what's to come
C G
And yes I hum and haw about nothing at all
D/F# Em
I get lost in fear
C G D
But no thief or act of god could take this grin I've got
Em
I know you will be here
[Chorus]
C G D G
And if you try to be with me, I will try to get by
C Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
G C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind
G C
They tell me Give it up
G Em
But I won't ever give it up
[Bridge]
Ah, they tell me
C
So what she's in your head?
D
She's gonna leave again?
Em
What's gonna happen then?
G
She's just enabling
C
And there is truth to that
D
But I ain't holding back
Em G
If you try, try, try
[Chorus]
C G D G
Try to be with me, I will try to get by
C Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
G C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind...
C G D G
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
C Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
G C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind
G
They tell me Give it up
C G C
But I won't ever give it up
G C
Oh, and they tell me Give it up
G C
But I won't ever give it up
