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 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)
