These are Foolish One – Tell Me Why by Taylor Swift on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar & Keyboard.
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
My cards are on the table,
yours are in your hand
C
Chances are, tonight you've
already got plans
Am C
And chances are, I will talk
G
myself to sleep again
G
You give me just enough attention
to keep my hopes too high
C
Wishful thoughts forget to mention
when someting's really not right
Am C
And I will block out these voices
G
of reason in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And the voices say
C G D
"You are not the exception"
C D
"You will never learn your
lesson"
[Chorus 1]
G
Foolish one, stop checking
your mailbox
C
for confessions of love that
ain't never gonna come
Am
You will take the long way
D
You will take the long way down
[Interlude]
G C Am D
[Verse 2]
C G
I took a chance, I took a shot
D
And you might think I'm
Em
bulletproof, but I'm not
C G
You took a swing, I took
it hard
D
And down here on the
Em
ground I see who you are

[Chorus 2]
C
I'm sick and tired of
G
your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't
D
know you
You tell me that you
Em
love me then cut me down
C
And I need you like a
G
heartbeat
But you know you got a
D
mean streak
Em
Makes me run for cover
when you're around
C D
Here's to you and your
temper
G
Yes, I remember what you
Em
said last night
C
And I know that you see
D
what you're doing to me
G C Am D
Tell me why
[Bridge 1]
Em C
Why do you have to make
me feel small?
G D
So you can feel whole inside?
Em C
Why do you have to put down
my dreams?
A
So that you're the only thing
C D
on my mind?
[Bridge 2]
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
And you will say you had the
G
best of intentions
Am
And maybe I will finally
C D
learn my lesson
[Chorus 1]
G
Foolish one, stop checking
your mailbox
C
for confessions of love that
ain't never gonna come
Am
You will take the long way
D
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
You will learn the hard way
D G
Instead of just walking out
[Outro]
C Am D
Ain't never gonna come
G
Foolish one, the day is
gonna come
C
for your confessions of
love
When all is said and done
Am
He just wasn't the one, no,
D
he just wasn't the one
C G
I take a step back, let
you go
D
I told you I'm not
Em G
bulletproof, now you know
