Intro: A F#m
verse 1:
A
You'll never have to hear the word "no"
If you keep all your friends on the payroll
F#m
The non-disclosure pages signed
Your secret's safe between those lines
A
The scaffolding will cheer and console you
But remember what your mother told you
F#m
That good help is so hard to find
For people that are so refined
Bm
You're trying to turn into the skid
D E
In this never-ending grid
F#m E D A
There's a long, slow fade
F#m E D A
To a darkened stage
F#m E D A
And I hear you say
F#m E D A
"Only a fool gives it away"
Bm
Only a fool would give
D
Only a fool gives it away
A
verse 2:
A
You said you wanna stake out your claim
High above the city from where you came
F#m
Don't you know the air's so thin?
It starves the brain of oxygen
A
I know it's such a dangerous place
For there are more ascensions than there is space
F#m
Angels causing accidents
The camera phones'll document
Bm
But if I start to levitate
Pull me down with all your weight
D E
F#m E D A
There's a long, slow fade
F#m E D A
To a darkened stage
F#m E D A
And I hear you say
F#m E D A
"Only a fool gives it away"
Bm
Only a fool would give
D
Only a fool gives it away
Solo:

Pre-Chorus
Bm
You're trying to turn into the skid
F#m
In this never-ending grid
Bm
But you should know it's not ideal
All those hands upon the wheel
D E
F#m E D A
There's a long, slow fade
F#m E D A
To a darkened stage
F#m E D A
And I hear you say
F#m E D A
"Only a fool gives it away"
F#m E D A
There's a long, slow fade
F#m E D A
To a darkened stage
F#m E D A
And I hear you say
F#m E D A
"Only a fool gives it away"
Bm
Only a fool would give

Only a fool would give
Bm
Only a fool would give
D
Only a fool gives this away
