Gilbert Montagné
The Fool
Gilbert Montagné (1971)

A  E/G♯  F♯m  C♯7  D  Bm  Esus4  E

  A                E/G♯            F♯m
  No (no) no don't let me play the fool
          C♯m             F♯m
  I can't really love you by the rules
         B                 Esus4  E
  For my love is sweet and free

  No, no don't let me play the fool
  For this thing you ask oh, it's so cruel
            B      E     A
  Can't you see it isn't me

Bm                            E
What you ask of me is just to be your clown
C♯m                            F♯m
Someone you can lead about and show around
Bm                                C♯7
Why make of our love a children's puppet show
F♯)sus4(
Can't I simply love you in the way I know

What I ask of you is not to turn away
Listen to the words that i'm trying to say
Our love could be a new adventure every day
                                      B    E
Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you

  Refrain

All I want from you is a little sympathy
Try to understand what it would be for me
All my hopes and dreams would now be bound and tied
Any hope of freedom would have surely died

I want to know that I can fall in love again
And be sure that my love will never not restrain
So please just let me love you in the way I know
Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you

  Refrain  x 3
