G                              D 
His heart's been through the ringer a time or two 
G            C 
Poor boy, I guess he never knew 
G                      D 
What'll happen if you close your eyes 
    C                     D 
And let your heart go to lovin' blind 
G               D 
Fool him once, oh now shame on you 
G                 C 
Fool him twice, well I guess he should've knew 
G                      D 
I guess his heart was born to burn 
C                    D 
I think some fools never learn 
 

[Refrão]
G               D 
A fool and his heart 
G             C 
How soon they part 
G              D         C             D 
He just can't hold on to it for very long 
G                      D 
He's the first one to fall 
G                             C 
Now he can't help himself at all 
G                   D 
Separated from the start 
         C   D          G 
That old fool and his heart 
 
 
The poor boy's been hurt so many times 
Goes and lays his heart out on the line 
The stakes are high he's a gamblin' man 
He'll roll the dice, he'll take the chance 
When the chips down he'll never make the score 
Always seems to keep coming back for more 
I guess his heart was born to burn 
I think some fools never learn 
 
 
(Chorus 2x)
