Lyrics
Before I'm Fool Enough
G C G
I'm goin’ away babe I cannot stay
D7
It's gonna hurt for a long long time
G C G
But I've been with you and I've been without you
C G D7 G
And neither way gives me any peace of mind
C G
So I may leave in the wee small hours
C G
If I'm not brave enough to kiss you goodbye
Em G
But once I get the nerve up I'm goin’
D7 G
Before I'm fool enough to give it one more try
(instrumental)
C G
Much more than halfway I've tried it your way
D7
But you don't see me the way I do
G C G
You really don't want me you want your daydreams
C G D7 G
Simple love is all I ever promised you
C G
So I may leave in the wee small hours
C G
If I'm not brave enough to kiss you goodbye
Em G
But once I get the nerve up I'm goin’
D7 G
Before I'm fool enough to give it one more try
Em G
But once I get the nerve up I'm goin’
D7 G
Before I'm fool enough to give it one more try
