Buddy Mondlock      Foolish Game   written by Ed Carey

Buddy Mondlock  vocals/guitar
Jeff Berman     bass
Mark Dann       guitar
Jeff Hardy      drums

D             G       Bm         A         D    
The cuts they run  so deep as to pierce my heart
             G       Bm A
And leave me wounded inside
D                 G        Bm A
And the cuts that scar my memory
       D        G       Bm A
Is the hardest ones to hide
G                        Bm
I've tested the waters a time or two
        Em                         D9  D
Now I'd rather keep my feet on the shore
D             G      Bm      A
Cause love is just a foolish game
     G           A           D   G Bm A   D G Bm A
That I've played somewhere before
D             G          Bm   A
I'll let love slip by my fingertips
D                  G               Bm A 
As my heart stands shattered and frail
D               G         Bm           A
When I run the dust will fly from my feet
D     G            Bm A
As it covers up my trail
G                        Bm
I've tested the waters a time or two
        Em                         D9  D
Now I'd rather keep my feet on the shore
D             G      Bm      A
Cause love is just a foolish game
     G           A           D   G Bm A   D G Bm A
That I've played somewhere before
G               Bm
You can run but you can't hide
     Em                              D
From shattered dreams that take your heart for a ride
G                         Bm
You get yourself together get on the right track
              Em                       G
Just then you realize your heart ain't coming back
         A
It ain't coming back

SOLO

D             G       Bm         A         D

             G       Bm A
And leave me wounded inside
D                 G        Bm A
And the cuts that scar my memory
       D        G       Bm A
Is the hardest ones to hide
G                        Bm
I've tested the waters a time or two
        Em                         D9  D
Now I'd rather keep my feet on the shore
D             G      Bm      A
Cause love is just a foolish game
     G           A           D   G Bm A   D G Bm A
That I've played somewhere before
