Love Makes A Fool Of The Wise
=============================
by:  The Tom Russell Band
written by:  Tom Russell / Carl Brouse

(capo 3rd fret)

A                                G 
I was always running scared it's true
A                            D
I was always running back to you
Bm
Running never takes you home
G
You're running wild and all alone
    D                A 
And lost you pay the cost

A                               G
You held my heart right in your hand
A                         D
You always seemed to understand
Bm                 
I played it right I played it wrong
G
I played around with love too long
D                             A
Love's a game that anyone can lose


Chorus:
Em
Love breaks the rules
Bm       
A kind man turns cruel
D                              A
What begins a dream will end a lie
Em           A           D     Em  A  D
Love makes a fool of the wise

A                                G
Old friends don't seem to hang around
A                               D
They whisper that she's leaving town
Bm
They say that I was cruel
G
They say I played the perfect fool
D                                     A
A fool that never learned the ways of love


Repeat Chorus Twice

Em           A           D      Em  A  D  (end)
Love makes a fool of the wise
