Taylor Swift - Foolish One

[Verse 1]
G
My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand
Cadd9
Chances are, tonight, you’ve already got plans
Am C G
And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high
Cadd9
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
Cadd9
Stop checkin’ your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain’t never gonna come
Am D
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[Verse 2]
G
You know how to keep me waitin’
I know how to act like I’m fine
Cadd9
Don’t know what to call this situation
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
‘Cause when my head is on your shoulder
It starts thinkin’ you’ll come around
Cadd9
And maybe, someday, when we’re older
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

[Pre-Chorus]
C D
You will never learn your lesson”

[Chorus]
G
Foolish one
Cadd9
Stop checkin’ your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain’t never gonna come
Am D
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
G
Foolish one
Cadd9
Stop checkin’ your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain’t never gonna come
Am D
You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin’ out

[Bridge]
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?”
Em
Oh, y ou 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

[Verse 3]
G
‘Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
Cadd9
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
Am C D
And maybe I will finally learn my lesison

[Chorus]
G
Foolish one
Cadd9
Stop checkin’ your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain’t never gonna come
Am D
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
G
Foolish one
Cadd9
Stop checkin’ your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain’t never gonna come
Am D
You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin’ out

[Post-Chorus]
G
Lalalalala lalalalalala, oh
Cadd9
Lalalalala
Ain’t never gonna come
Am D
Ooh, you will learn the hard way now

[Chorus]
G
Foolish one
Cadd9
Sittin’ ’round waiting for confessions of love
They ain’t never gonna come
Am D
And thinkin’ he’s the one, you should’ve been walkin’ out
G
Foolish one
Cadd9
The day is gonna come for your confessions of love
Am
When all is said and done, he just wasn’t the one
D G
No, he just wasn’t the one
