[Verse 1]

D
You took me up to heaven, and then you took me in your arms,
            G
I was dazzled by your beauty, blinded by your charms.
           A                       D                        A                           D
I was lost in Fools Paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.

[Verse 2]
                      D
But then you told me that you loved me,

and then I gave my heart to you.
             G
But, well, I wondered if there could be any truth in love so new,
          A                        D                          A                        D
I was lost in a Fools Paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.

[Chorus]
         G
The whole world was my kingdom,
         D
and your love the gem in my crown,
           E
but when I saw you then with a new romance,
        G                               G                A
you know, my love came tumbling down.

                   D
Well you treat kind of coolish, and you never let me know,
                G
That you think I'm being foolish because I love you so.
                A                       D                           A                        D
I still get lost in a Fools paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.
