Only A Fool Breaks His Own Heart(Chords)

	        
Intro 

I improvise between Dmaj7 and A before going to D to start the song. 

verse 1 
D               A 
Why do I go on fooling myself 
Bm                  F#m 
When I know you love somebody else 
G       A                   D    A 
Only a fool breaks his own heart 

verse 2 
D              A 
I pretend that I don't see 
Bm               F#m 
You walking with him on the street 
G       A                   D    D7  
Only a fool breaks his own heart 

Chorus 
G          F# 
I have to admit 
        D              G 
Even though it hurt me so 
G          F# 
I can't forget 
    F              G 
If I'm a man I'll let you go 

verse 3 
D                   A 
There's no sense in holding on 
Bm            F#m 
To an old love that's gone 
G       A                   D    A 
Only a fool breaks his own heart 

Instrumental 

D  A  Bm  F#m G  A  D  D7 

Chorus 
G          F# 
I have to accept 
        D              G 
Even though it hurt me so 
G          F# 
I can't forget 
    F              G 
If I'm a man I'll let you go 

verse 4 
D                   A 
There's no sense in holding on 
Bm            F#m 
To an old love that's gone 
G       A                   F#    G 
Only a fool breaks his own heart 
G       A                   D    A 
Only a fool breaks his own heart
