Life's Greatest Fool

[Intro] G

G             D       C               Am
Some walk out winners of those who've lost
G         D           C
Can it be said at any price this is the cost?
G          D        C         Am
Hard is perception, easier is blame
G           D             C    D              G
Is this the only life for everyone? Is it the same?

         D     C       Am
Children laugh and run away
G            D             C
While others look into the darkness of the day
G                D    C              Am
Some streets are easy while some are cruel
G              D           C      D               G
Could these be reasons why man is life's greatest fool?

D               A
Do you believe, when you're all alone
C                        G
You held the key to your destiny gone?
D               A
Do you believe, deep in your soul
C                        G              A     D
That too much loneliness makes you grow old?

G            D      C                  Am
Words can be empty, though filled with sound
G               D         C
Stoned numb and drifting, hard to be profound
G             D         C           Am
Formed out of pleasure, chiseled by pain
G         D            C       D            G
Never the highest, and not the last one to gain

D               A
Do you believe, when you're all alone
C                        G
You held the key to your destiny gone?
D               A
Do you believe, deep in your soul
C                        G              A     D
That too much loneliness makes you grow old?
