Well I waited and I waited up at day and night
D F#m
Thinking that my phone would ring.
A F#m
But you never gave me a second thought
H E
And told all your friends about me.
A
Yes you told them all about what a clown I was
D F#m
And how you had me on the end of a string
A F#m
Now I got a title for which I?m known
H E A
And that?s the Fool of the Century
Ref.
C#
Well you seem so close
But just out of reach
F#m
I?m always chasing something down the road
H
And it?s way too late, I?ve shoulda learned my lesson
E
A long long time ago.
A
But now no matter where I wander
All over town
D F#m
I can hear them laughing at me
A F#m
Yes they all whisper when I walk by:
H E A
?There goes the fool of the century?
Solo (1x Ref.)
Well I tried my best to look like happy-hie
With your first class company
But they all looked at me in disbelieve
And didn?t take me seriously
Well now I followed you around for a long long time
Practically down on my knees
Then they all sent me to the head of the class
As the fool of the century.
Ref.
H E A F#m
Yes, the fool of the century
H E A
Mmmh, the fool of the century!
