Standard (EADGBE)

1. The tears I cried for you could fill an ocean,

but you don’t care how many tears I cry.

And though you only lead me on and hurt me,

I couldn’t bring myself to say goodbye.

Chorus

‘Cause everybody’s somebody’s fool,

everybody’s somebody’s plaything.

And there are no exceptions to the rule,

yes, everybody’s somebody’s fool.

2.I told myself it’s best that I forget you,

though I’m a fool, at least I know the score.

Yes, darling, I’d be twice as blue without you,

it hurts, but I come running back for more.

Chorus

‘Cause everybody’s somebody’s fool,

everybody’s somebody’s plaything.

And there are no exceptions to the rule,

yes, everybody’s somebody’s fool.

3.Some day you’ll find someone to really care for,

and if her love should prove to be untrue,

You'll know how much my heart is really breaking,

You'll cry for her the way I cried for you.

Chorus

‘Cause everybody’s somebody’s fool,

everybody’s somebody’s plaything.

And there are no exceptions to the rule,

yes, everybody’s somebody’s fool.
