Am G Em D  
Am G C 


verse 1 

Am         G    Em          D 
What did I see, fool that I was? 
    Am             G                  C    
Oh, a goddess with wings on her heels. 
Am        G       Em          D 
All my illusions projected on her;  
     Am          G              C 
The ideal that I wanted to see.

D          C     D           C 
What did I know, fool that I was? 
     Bb                      G      F G F G F G F G G  
Oh, little by little I learned                           
   D               C 
My friends were dismayed 
   D        C 
To see me betrayed, 
         Bb                            G  F G F G F G F G G                          
But they knew they could never tell me. 

verse 2 

Am         G     Em          D 
What did I care, fool that I was? 
    Am        G               C 
Oh, little by little I burned,  
Am        G            Em         D 
Maybe sometimes, there might be a flaw, 
        Am         G                C 
But how pretty the picture was back then.

D          C   D           C 
What did I do, fool that I was, 
   Bb                          G    F G F G F G F G G  
To profit from youthful mistakes? 
     D           C 
It's shameful to tell 
    D       C 
How often I fell 
   Bb                   G      F G F G F G F G G 
In love with delusions again.

To profit from youthful mistakes? 
   D           C

Just how often I fell 
   Bb                     G     F G F G F G F G G 
In love with illusions again!
