[Intro]

G C G

G D G


[Verse 1]

        G                        C          G
You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the world
        G                  D         G
You can lie to the one you call your girl
        G                      C               G
You can humble yourself to the hearts that you stole
          G                         D        G
Wondering who's gonna love you when you grow old


[Chorus 1]

       Em                       C
With a fistful of courage and a heart full of rage
  G                     D
I realized I'd locked myself in a cage
            Em                         C
I'll be the one standing there with my watery eyes
            G                  D                       G
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why...asking why


[Verse 2]

        G                   C         G
When I got to the end of my dirty rainbow
        G                  D         G
and I found that there was no pot of gold
        G                            C            G
Well, I learned that I was empty and not quite as strong
          G                   D          G
for I had robbed my heart and cheated my soul


[Chorus 2]

Em                        C
Look for the one with the watery eyes
            G                  D
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why
        Em               C
Cursing lovers in a warm tender embrace
G                             D
Scoffing at the world and the whole human race
        Em           C
You can run, you can hide
        G                 D
You can feed your foolish pride
        Em        C
You can use and abuse
       G                 D             G
In the end you'll always lose...at the game


[Solo]

G   C   G
G   D   G


[Chorus 3]

        Em           C
You can run, you can hide
        G                 D
You can feed your foolish pride
         Em              C
with the hearts that you stole
       G            D
and an empty pot of gold
        Em             C
and the lover's warm embrace
        G                  D
and the whole damned human race
        Em        C
You can use and abuse
       G                 D             G
in the end you'll always lose...at the game


[Outro]

      G                 C   G
For I cheated myself at solitaire
