Intro:
 
C Dm   Am G Bb G  
C Dm   Am G F G  

Am                    C           F 
Young and bright, but now just a dim light 
C           G 
Off in the distance 
Am              C               F 
A falling stone, following the path 
C           G 
Of least resistance 
  
F            C 
If I still fight 
F               C 
It's just that I'm 
F             C                G 
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again 

F     G 

C             Dm   Am 
Taken for a fool 
G      Bb     G       C         Dm   Am 
Yes I was because I was a fool 
G    F   G 
C                Dm   Am  
Tell me what you'd do,      
G         Bb       G          C           Dm   Am 
I lost my way and she took me to school 
G       F    G 

Am              C              F 
So many times caught up in my head at night 
         C           G 
With a leash and a label 
Am            C                        F 
If I can learn anything from this then I'd be like 
      C          G 
The fox in the fable oh I 

F            C 
If I still fight 
F               C 
It's just that I'm 
F             C                G 
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again 

Dm                       G 
The way we used to carry on 
Dm                                   G 
is stuck in my head like a terrible song 

F    G 

C             Dm   Am 
Taken for a fool 
G      Bb   G     C         Dm   Am 
Yes I was and I was a fool 
G    F   G 
C                Dm   Am  
Following their rules     
G       Bb      G    C           Dm   Am 
Guess I was a very honest tool 
G       F    G 

C Dm   Am G Bb G 

C Dm   Am G F G 

C             Dm   Am 
Taken for a fool 
G     Bb     G       C         Dm   Am 
Yes I was because I was a fool 
G    F   G 

End: F    G   C
