lyrics

Nothing but the fool
by Adam H.

Capo on 4th fret, F# harp

Main riff: A A/G A/F# D

Now look all the one word sayings
Call ‘em out, it’s just like praying
Sell you a box filled with truth
It’s nothing but, nothing but…

Hold out for next year’s model
Just one ship inside this bottle
Calls it fake with zero proof
He’s nothing but, nothing but the fool

Every lie is understated
Every crime is underrated
Always follow every rule
You’re nothing but, nothing but…

Fool’s gold’s shine is wasted
Who’s left that’s ever tasted
Something somebody never knew
It’s nothing but, nothing but the fool

B E
And still they’re coming after you
B E E7
Cause there’s all kinds of things they can’t wait for us to do

Yeah, I heard they cracked the code
Now only some of us getting old
Dole out health while they pay for youth
It’s nothing but, nothing but…

We watch the money swim upstream
Buy it back, six months interest free
They say it’s time we pay our dues
It’s nothing but, it's nothing but…

Now listen up, don’t you hear them knocking?
It’s alright, I can do the talking
No use in trying to play it cool
You’re nothing but, nothing but…

Truth is, they’ve all been listening
You’d never know, there’s nothing missing
Might find out if it makes the news
We’re nothing but, nothing but the fools

Solo

I’d take back the words I’m saying
But truth is, there’s someone paying
Could be him, but it’s probably you
We’re nothing but, nothing but the fools
We’re nothing but the fools
