This is a simplified version of the song. His version has added 6ths, 9ths and
such but this should be fairly accurate. In case it is unclear "Eº" means
E augmented and "Eb" means E flat...
Kissing A Fool - George Michael
Intro: Eb | Eº | Fm | Abm Bb |
Eb Eº
You are far, when I could have been your star
Fm7
You listened to people
B5 Bb7
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Eb
Strange that you were strong enough
C7
To even make a start
Fm7
But you'll never find peace of mind
B5 Bb
Till you listen to your heart
Eb Eº Fm7
People, you can never change the way they feel
Abm Bb7 Eb
Better let them do just what they will
Db C7 Fm
For they will, If you let them
Fm7 Bb7
Steal your heart from you
Eb Db5 C7 Fm7
People, Will always make a lover feel a fool
Abm Bb7 Eb Db
But you knew I loved you
C7 Fm7
We could have shown them all
Abm Bb7 Eb Fº Eb Cm7 C7
We should have seen love through
Fm7 Bb
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Fm7 Bb
Covered me with kisses and lies
Ebm7 Ab7 Db Bb7
So good-bye, but please don't take my heart
(Repeat chords from verse 1)
You are far, I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces and mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough, I don't know where to start
But I'll never find peace of mind, while I listen to my heart
People, you can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will, If you let them, steal your heart
And people, will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you,
We could have shown them all
Abm Bb7 Eb Fº Eb Cm7
We should have seen love through
Fm7
But remember this, every other kiss,
B7
That you ever give, long as we both live
Eb Eb
When you need the hand of another man
Db C7
One you really can surrender with
Fm
I will wait for you, like I always do
B Bb7 Cm7
There's something there, that can't compare
Fm7 Bb
With any other
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you'd love me too.
B7 Bb7 Eb C9
I guess you were kissing a fool
B7 Bb7 Ebm7
You must have been kissing a fool
