I believed your every word

Alas now I've seen the light

I've found the heart to say

G Em
No more the fool who waits around
C
Waiting for you to bring me down
D
Those days are gone now
G Em
No more the nights lying awake

Crying and waiting for the day to break

No more the sound as my dreams

Fall and hit the ground

While I wait around

No more the fool
