Key: A Major | Tempo: 98 BPM | Time: ~ 3:09 min
For: Female vocals, acoustic + electric guitar, strings, grand piano, drums, double bass

[Intro]
A F#m D E
(Soft acoustic strum, cello swells, violin hums in counterpoint)
(Whispered)
I am a fool…

[Verse 1 – Female Vocal]
A F#m
I wore my heart like a Sunday dress,
D E
Hung it out there, hoping you'd be impressed.
A F#m
You smiled like you knew the whole charade,
D E
But still you danced in the mess I made.

[Verse 2]
A F#m
You were velvet night in a silver suit,
D E
And I was the girl humming something off-tune.
A F#m
Tried to pretend I could play it cool,
D E
But every heartbeat wrote: “I am a fool.”

[Pre-Chorus – Harmonic Layering (ooohs)
Bm C#m
Everyone warned me love could burn,
D E
But darling, I never learn...

[Chorus – Full Harmony + Orchestral Bloom]
A E
I am a fool for believing,
F#m C#m
You were the dream worth repeating.
D A
But I danced on my own,
Bm E
Hoping you'd throw me a bone.
A E
I am a fool, it's true —
F#m C#m
Still I’d fall again for you.
D A
Though the ending was cruel,
E A
Oh, love… I am a fool.

[Bridge – Soft Strings + Piano, Vocals tender]
F#m D
You held me like a melody,
A E
But played me like a record on repeat.
F#m D
I should’ve known your touch was brief,
Bm E
But hope was stronger than belief…

[Final Chorus – Gentle + Harmonic Layering]
A E
I am a fool for the story,
F#m C#m
Even without the glory.
D A
Some hearts don't let go,
Bm E
Even when the truth says so.
A E
I am a fool, that’s me —
F#m C#m
Still in love with make-believe.
D A
And if I fade from your view…
E A
Know I loved the fool in you.

[Outro – Piano + Strings fade]
Bm E A
I am a fool... for you.
