Lyrics:
The fool[Am] jumps on [F]in
He [E7]goes in [Am]blind
They say he’s a [F]mad man,
That [E7]he’s lost his [Am]mind
The [Am]fool wonders [F]when
They’ll [E7]open their [Am]eyes
And see he’s a [F]genius
In a [E7]foolish [Am]disguise
He [Am]tiptoes [F]along
The [E7]edge of the [Am]world
Singing and [F]dancing
And [E7]taunting the [Am]earth
He draws in his [F]foes
They [E7]question his [Am]worth
Caught up by the [F]trickster
They [E7]don’t see the [Am]sword
[Dm]Risk taker, [E]oath breaker
[F]Who would trust a [E]fool?
[Dm]Reckless and [E7]senseless
They’ll [F]never see the [E]truth
The fool [Am]jumps on [F]in
He [E7]goes in [Am]blind
They say he’s a [F]mad man,
That [E7]he’s lost his [Am]mind
The [Am]fool wonders [F]when
They’ll [E7]open their [Am]eyes
And see he’s a [F]genius
In a [E7]foolish [Am]disguise
He [Am]gets in [F]close
You [E7]drop down your [Am]guard
Laughing and [F]smiling he’s
[E7]Never too [Am]far
Because what’s a [F]fool
To a [E7]powerful [Am]god?
They’ll never see him [F]coming
‘Til he’s in [E7]right in their [Am]path
[Dm]Troublemaker, [E]shift shaper
[F]What defines a [E]fool?
[Dm]Underesti-[E]mated
Is [F]such a perfect [E]tool
The fool[Am] jumps on [F]in
He [E7]goes in [Am]blind
They say he’s a [F]mad man,
That [E7]he’s lost his [Am]mind
The [Am]fool wonders [F]when
They’ll [E7]open their [Am]eyes
And see he’s a [F]genius
In a [E7]foolish [Am]disguise
[Dm]Toss a [Am]coin,
[E7]Genius and madness
[Am]One of the same
[Dm]What a [Am]choice
The [E7]flint or the steel
Who[Am] is to blame?
A [Dm]mask or [Am]two
A [Em]brand-new day
With [Am]a different face
[Dm]“Praise The Fool”
Is [Am]what they chant
[E7]Whisper his name
The fool[Am] jumps on [F]in
He [E7]goes in [Am]blind
They say he’s a [F]mad man,
That [E7]he’s lost his [Am]mind
The [Am]fool wonders [F]when
They’ll [E7]open their [Am]eyes
And see he’s a [F]genius
In a [E7]foolish [Am]disguise
