Fool of the Century(Keyboard chords)

	        
        A 
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!
