[Intro]
 EA
          E
1.As you look into my eyes and tell those empty lies
           A
  I'll pretend they're true 'cause that's what I do
          E
  As you sit and hold my hand and smile at other men
           A
  I'll pretend I'm blind 'cause I'm just that kind

  C#                                     F#m
C.I'm the king of fool and I'll always reign
  B                    E
  Over loneliness and pain
  C#                            F#m
  The king of fools wears his crown
  B                       E
  Wherever misery can be found

          E
2.As you walk away with him and I lose in love again
           A
  I'll pretend to see that you're still with me
            E
  But I'll be there all alone like a king upon a throne
                          A
  'Cause I'm the king of fools
      E                A
  Yes I'm the king of fools
