Intro
C Dm - Am G Bb G
C Dm - Am G F G
 
VERSE 1:

Am                    C           F
Young and bright, but now just a dim light
C           G
Off in the distance
Am              C               F
A falling stone, following the path
C           G
Of least resistance


BRIDGE: 

F            C
If I still fight
F               C
It's just that I'm
F             C                G          F  G
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again
 
CHORUS:

C             Dm - Am
Taken for a fool
G      Bb     G       C         Dm - Am   G   F   G
Yes I was because I was a fool

C                Dm - Am
Tell me what you'd do,     
G         Bb       G          C           Dm - Am    G   F   G
I lost my way and she took me to school

VERSE 2:
 
Am              C              F
So many times caught up in my head at night
         C           G
With a leash and a label
Am            C                        F
If I can learn anything from this then I'd be like
      C          G
The fox in the fable oh I


BRIDGE:

F            C
If I still fight
F               C
It's just that I'm
F             C                G
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again

VERSE 3:
 
Dm                       G
The way we used to carry on
Dm                                   G  F    G
is stuck in my head like a terrible song
 
CHORUS:
 
C             Dm - Am
Taken for a fool
G      Bb   G     C         Dm - Am  G    F   G
Yes I was and I was a fool

C                Dm - Am
Following their rules    
G       Bb      G    C           Dm - Am G    F   G
Guess I was a very honest tool

BREAK:
 
C Dm - Am G Bb G
 
C Dm - Am G F G

CHORUS:
 
C             Dm - Am
Taken for a fool
G     Bb     G       C         Dm - Am G    F   G
Yes I was because I was a fool
