Lyrics

What kind of (C)fool am I

who nev er (Dm7)fell in love?

It seems that (C)I’m the on ly (A7)one that I have been (Dm7)think ing of.

What kind of (C)man is this,

an emp ty (D7)shell,

a lone ly (Bm7)cell in (Em7)which an (Am)emp ty (D7)heart must dwell.

What kind of (C)lips are these

that lied with (Dm7)ev ’ry kiss,

that whis pered (C)emp ty words of (A7)love that left me a (Gm7)lone like this?

Why can’t I (F)fall in love

like an y (C)oth er man,

and may be (Dm7)then I’ll know what (G7)kind of fool I (C)am.

(G7)What kind of (C)fool am I

who nev er (Dm7)fell in love?

It seems that (C)I’m the on ly (A7)one that I have been (Dm7)think ing of.

What kind of (C)life is this,

an emp ty (D7)shell,

a lone ly (Bm7)cell in (Em7)which an (Am)emp ty (D7)heart must dwell.

What kind of (C)clown am I?

What do I (Dm7)know of life?

Why can’t I (C)cast a way the (A7)mask of play me and (Gm7)live my life?

Why can’t I (F)fall in love

’til I don’t (C)give a damn,

and may be (Dm7)then I’ll know what (G7)kind of fool I (C)am.

(G7)What kind of (C)am.
