Foolish One Uke tab by Taylor Swift

G
My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand
C
Chances are tonight you’ve already got plans
    Am                 C                     G
And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
            G
You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high
        C
Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something’s really not right
    Am                     C                      G    D
And I will block out these voices of reason in my head

                    C            G     D
And the voices say, “You are not the exception
C              D
You will never learn your lesson”
G
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox
       C
For confessions of love that ain’t never gonna come
Am                                                     D
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

         G
You know how to keep me waiting, I know how to act like I’m fine
                   C
Don’t know what to call this situation, but I know I can’t call you mine
         Am                   C                        G
And it’s delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof
               G
‘Cause when my head is on your shoulder, it starts thinking you’ll come around
          C
And maybe someday when we’re older, this is something we’ll laugh about
     Am           C                                 G
Over coffee every morning while you’re watching the news

                    C            G     D
And the voices say, “You are not the exception
C              D
You will never learn your lesson”
G
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox
       C
For confessions of love that ain’t never gonna come
Am                                                     D
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
G
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox
       C
For confessions of love that ain’t never gonna come
Am                                                   D
You will learn the hard way, instead of just walking out

        Em                            C
Now I’m sliding down the wall with my head in my hands
        G                        D
Saying, “How could I not see the signs?”
                Em
Oh, you haven’t written me or called
            C
But goodbye screaming in the silence
        G                             D
And the voices in my head are telling me why
       G
‘Cause you got her on your arm, and me in the wings
     C
I’ll get your longing glances, but she’ll get your ring

    Am                 C                 G
And you will say, “You had the best of intentions”
    Am                   C        D
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
G
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox
       C
For confessions of love that ain’t never gonna come
Am                                                     D
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
G
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox
       C
For confessions of love that ain’t never gonna come
Am                                                   D
You will learn the hard way, instead of just walking out
G                 C
Ain’t never gonna come
Am                               D
Ooh, you will learn the hard way now
G
Foolish one
                              C
Sitting ’round waiting for confessions of love, they ain’t never gonna come
    Am                                               D
And thinking he’s the one you should’ve been walking out
G
Foolish one
                                  C
The day is gonna come for your confessions of love, when all is said and done
   Am                          D                   G
He just wasn’t the one; no, he just wasn’t the one
