As you look into my eyes and tell those empty lies
I'll pretend they're true, 'cause that's what I do
As you sit and hold my hand and smile at other men
I'll pretend I'm blind, 'cause I'm just that kind
I'm the king of fools and I'll always reign
Over loneliness and pain
The king of fools wears his crown
Wherever misery can be found
Repeat
I'm the king of fools and I'll always reign
Over loneliness and pain
The king of fools wears his crown
Wherever misery can be found
As you walk away with him and I lose in love again
I'll pretend to see, that you're still with me
But I'll be there all alone, like a king upon a throne
'Cause I'm the king of fools
Yes, I'm the king of fools
This may be easier to play if you transpose down two half-steps and use
