Baby I'm A Fool - Melody Gardot etc



 
[Intro]
G6  F6  F#6    x3
 
[Verse 1]
G6
How was I to know that this was always only just a little 
Am7           D9
 game to you?
 
Am7                                D9
All the time I felt you gave your heart I thought that I would 
         G6
do the same for you,
Dm7                               G9                     Cmaj7
Tell the truth I think I should have seen it coming from a mile away,
         Cm6
When the words you say are,
 
 
[Hook]
G6                                      Cm6      G6
"Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall in love"
 
 
[Verse 2]
G6
If I gave a thought to fascination I would know it wasn’t 
Am7       D9
right to care,
Am7                                 D9
Logic doesn’t seem to mind that I am fascinated by the 
G6
love affair,
Dm7                                 G9                     Cmaj7
Still my heart would benefit from a little tenderness from time to time, 
Cm6
but never mind,
 
 
[Hook]
G6                                      Cm6      G6
"Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall in love"
 
 
[Verse 3]
G6                                      Am7                  D9
Baby I should hold on just a moment and be sure it’s not for vanity,
Am7                            D9                   G6
Look me in the eye and tell me love is never based upon insanity,
Dm7                              G9                  Cmaj7
Hear the way my heart is beating every other moments fleeting,
N.C.
Kiss me now,
N.C.
Don’t ask me how,
G6                                            Cm6
Cause baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall
 
 
[Hook]
G6                                       Cm6
"Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall
G6                                     Cm6              G6
And I would never tell if you became a fool and fell in Love.

Lyrics
How was I to know that this was always Only just a little game to you?All the time I felt you gave your heart I thought that I would do the same for youTell the truth, I think I should have Seen it coming from a mile awayWhen the words you say are
Baby, I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love?
If I gave a thought to fascination I would know it wasn't right to careLogic doesn't seem to mind that I am fascinated by the love affairStill my heart would benefit from A little tenderness from time to time, but never mind'Cause baby, I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mmMm-mm-mm
Yeah
Baby, I should hold on just a moment And be sure it's not for vanityLook me in the eye and tell me Love is never based upon insanity, yeahEven when my heart is beating Hurry up the moment's fleetingKiss me now, don't ask me how
'Cause baby, I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fallBaby, I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fallAnd I would never tell if you became a fool and fell in love
