G
Try not to think about it.
C
Get dressed and come out tonight.
D                                                                G
You've been through this before and you know it's gonna' be alright.

G
But you can't go out like that.
C
Tuck in your shirt and comb your hair back.
D                                                            G
If you feel like crying just turn away until the feelings pass.

C
Oh, poor fool (poor fool).
G
Oh, poor fool (poor fool).
C                D                  G
No will to live, no will to choose, poor fool.

G
Now the heart is a tricky thing.
C
Yours, more than most.
D
You spend your whole life wandering with a look on your face like you've 
           G
seen a ghost.
G
This ain't no haunting.
C
And though it's no ordinary hurt,
D                                                                G
after all these years, you should know better, but you never learn.

C
Oh, poor fool (poor fool).
G
Oh, poor fool (poor fool).
C                D                  G   
No will to live, no will to choose, poor fool.

G  C  D  G x2
C
Now I think you like it.
G
Better yet, I know you do.
C                          D
You fuss and you fight it, but your just an ordinary fool.

G
So tuck your head back, 
C
close your eyes and take a long, deep breath.
D                                                              G
You're gonna' be alright, you just gotta' learn to try to forget.

C
Oh, poor fool (poor fool).
G
Oh, poor fool (poor fool).
C                D                  G   
No will to live, no will to choose, poor fool.
