Foolish One Chords by Taylor Swift

[Start]

[Chorus]
G                                               
My cards are on the table yours are in your hand
C                                           
Chances are tonight you've already got plans
    Am                 C                    G    
And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again


[Verse]
            G                                              
You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high
C                                                                   
Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right
    Am                     C                      G   
And I will block out these voices of reason in my head
D                    C           G   D        
■ And the voices say You are not the exception
C              D                
You will never learn your lesson


[Chorus]
G          
Foolish one
                               C                  
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
           C               
That ain't never gonna come
Am                                                    D   
You will take the long way you will take the long way down


[Verse]
         G                     
You know how to keep me waitin'
       G                       
I know how to act like I'm fine
                   C                  
Don't know what to call this situation
      C                         
But I know I can't call you mine
         Am                  C                  G          
And it's delicate but I will do my best to seem bulletproof
               G                       
'cause when my head is on your shoulder
          G                          
It starts thinkin' you'll come around
          C                       
And maybe someday when we're older
        C                          
This is something we'll laugh about
Am                C                                 G   
Over coffee every mornin' while you're watching the news
D                         C           G   D        
■ But then the voices say You are not the exception
C              D                
You will never learn your lesson


[Chorus]
G          
Foolish one
                               C                  
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
           C               
That ain't never gonna come
Am                                                    D   
You will take the long way you will take the long way down
G          
Foolish one
                               C                  
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
           C               
That ain't never gonna come
Am                          Am7                     D  
You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out


[Bridge]
        Em7              Em           C               
Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands
       G                       D    
Sayin' How could I not see the signs
               Em7     Em          
Oh you haven't written me or called
            C                       
But goodbye screamin' in the silence
        G                             D     
And the voices in my head are tellin' me why
       G                                          
'cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings


[Verse]
C                                                     
I'll get your longing glances but she'll get your ring
Am                   C               G         
And you will say you had the best of intentions


[Chorus]
Am                       C        D     
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
G          
Foolish one
                               C                  
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
           C               
That ain't never gonna come
Am                                                    D   
You will take the long way you will take the long way down
G          
Foolish one
                               C                  
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
                       G   
That ain't never gonna come
Am                                                  D   G         
You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out ohoh oh oh
G                     
Lalalalala lalalala oh
C                                
Lalalalala Ain't never gonna come
Am  Am7                Am       D    
Ooh you will learn the hard way ■ now
G          
Foolish one
                           C                  
Sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love
                       Cmaj7
They ain't never gonna come 
    G        Am7                                     D  
And thinkin' he's the one you should've been walkin' out
G          
Foolish one
                               C                  
The day is gonna come for your confessions of love
                             Am7                
When all is said and done he just wasn't the one
      D                   G
No he just wasn't the one ■
