FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS
"Fools Gold"
(Dave Bassett / Fitz and the Tantrums)

[Intro:]
Oh maybe I just wasn't good enough
To blow your mind
You know I tried
Them silver lines, they cut like blades of glass
Not worth the blood we've shed for love

[Pre Chorus:]
So give it up
Stop beating
Hearts have gone cold
Had enough repeating
It's all been done before
Give it up
Start heating
Hearts have gone cold
Hey now
When we gonna wake up

[Chorus:]
But fool's gold shines like diamonds in her eyes
Thought we had a million
But baby we got nothing
But fool's gold shines like words that make us cry
We just keep on digging
Find us something better for the next time
Next time
Something better for the next time/next time

So maybe I was just not strong enough
To tow the lines
Make truth the lies
The fortune made now it's all locked away
We lost the key
How to believe

[Pre-Chorus:]
So give it up
Start heating
Hearts have gone cold
Had enough bleed
Bleeding
It's all been done before
Give it up
Start heating
Hearts have gone cold
Hey now
When we gonna wake up

[Chorus:]
But fool's gold shines like diamonds in her eyes
Thought we had a million
But baby we got nothing
But fool's gold shines like words that make us cry
We just keep on digging
Find us something better for the next time
Next time
Something better for the next time/next time

[Bridge:]
Oh baby I just wasn't good enough
Maybe I wasn't strong enough

[Chorus 3x:]
But fool's gold shines like diamonds in her eyes
Thought we had a million
But baby we got nothing
But fool's gold shines like words that make us cry
We just keep on digging
Find us something better for the next time
Next time
Something better for the next time/next time

[Outro 4x:]
Something better for the next time / next time
