[Verse]
     G                           C                 G
This morning, I am leaving, I've been up all night long
                                                    D7
You're right, I'm tired of waiting for you to come home
     G                                   C                       G
I've begged and tried to change you, but you've grown worse each day
                                  D7                G    G7
If I'm a fool for leaving, I'd be twice the fool to stay
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                            G
I'd rather be called foolish and find somebody else
                                           D7
Than to be a fool forever and not forgive myself
     G                                 C                 G
I'm exactly what you've made me, but I hope to change someday
                                  D7                G
If I'm a fool for leaving, I'd be twice the fool to stay
 
 
[Interlude]
G     D7  G  G7
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                            G
I'd rather be called foolish and find somebody else
                                           D7
Than to be a fool forever and not forgive myself
     G                                 C                 G
I'm exactly what you've made me, but I hope to change someday
                                  D7                G
If I'm a fool for leaving, I'd be twice the fool to stay
                                  D7                G
If I'm a fool for leaving, I'd be twice the fool to stay
