Love Makes A Fool Out Of The Wise

Love Makes A Fool Of The Wise

=============================

by: The Tom Russell Band

written by: Tom Russell / Carl Brouse

(capo 3rd fret)

I was always running scared it's true

I was always running back to you

Running never takes you home

You're running wild and all alone

And lost you pay the cost

You held my heart right in your hand

You always seemed to understand

I played it right I played it wrong

I played around with love too long

Love's a game that anyone can lose

Love breaks the rules

A kind man turns cruel

What begins a dream will end a lie

Love makes a fool of the wise

Old friends don't seem to hang around

They whisper that she's leaving town

They say that I was cruel

They say I played the perfect fool

A fool that never learned the ways of love

Repeat Chorus Twice

Em A D Em A D (end)

Love makes a fool of the wise

From the album Road to Bayamon 1989 Rounder Records
