Verse 1
C 
Am 
Well, if you look at me,
Em 
C 
you'll be looking at a fool
F 
With a heartache that just
G 
C 
grows every day, yeah
F 
C 
For I was too blind to see
Am 
her love was mine
C 
F 
C 
Once I  had it, but I let it slip away
Am 
And if you talk to me,
Em 
C 
you'll be talking to a fool
F 
G 
C 
With a lifetime of tears yet to pay
F 
Cause now that love stands out
C 
Am 
of reach of his hands
C 
F 
C 
Once I  had, but I let it slip away
F 
Now, I tell my heart, oh,
C 
you were better off
F 
And you really didn't need her anyway
C 
F 
Dm 
That's a good try,
F 
C 
Am 
but it's still just a lie,
D 
G 
because I  need them more every day.
C 
Am 
Now, I live my life with
Em 
C 
the wisdom of a fool
F 
G 
C 
from a lesson that I learned the hard way.
F 
C 
Am 
At such a cost, oh, I'd leave what I lost
C 
F 
C 
Once I  had it, and I'd let it slip away
Yes, I hadn't,
F 
but I'd let him slip away.
