Fool Of The Century

INTRO: Well I waited and I waited up at day and night, thinkin' that my phone would ring But you never gave me a second thought, and told all your friends about me Yes you told 'em all about what a clown I was and how you had me on the end of string Now I've got a title for which I'm known and that's the fool of the century Well you seem so close but just out of reach I'm always chasin' somethin' down the road And it's way too late, I should've learned my lesson a long long time ago But now no matter where I wonder all over town I can hear them laughin' at me Yes they all whisper when I walk by there goes the fool of the century SOLO (CHORUS chords) Well I tried my best to look I fit in with your first class company But they all looked at in disbelief and wouldn'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 CHORUS Yes the fool of the century Mmmm the fool of the century
