VERSE:
                            C
 I used to try and be the cool guy
                           Am
When all the ladies would walk by
 
                              F
I'd lean my back against the wall
                   G
Sunglasses on and all
                           C
Pull 'em down and wink an eye
 
 
VERSE:
N.C.                            C
But something changed when you walked past
                             D
My heart it started beating real fast
 
                       F
Now I'm saying stupid things
                      G
Tripping over my own feet
                C
You ruined my whole act
 
 
CHORUS:
N.C.                        C
You got me acting like the fool that I am
                   C
I used to play it cool, now I can't
 
                            F
Well since you've gone and seen
                     G
What's really underneath
                   C  C
Exposing me for a sham
 
               F     F      C
You got these stars just a dancin' in my eyes
              Am
I can hardly stand these butterflies
 
                  F
Please excuse me m'am
                        G
I've gone and shown my hand
N.C.                C
For the fool that I am
 
 
VERSE:
                         C
I used to wanna be like James Dean
                         D
Not phased by anyone or anything
 
                         F
But now I'm wiping away drool
                          G
Like a love drunk kid in school
                      C
And letting my heart sing
 
 
CHORUS:
N.C.                        C
You got me acting like the fool that I am
                   C
I used to play it cool, now I can't
 
                       F
Since you've gone and seen
                     G
What's really underneath
                   C
Exposing me for a sham
 
               F     F      C
You got these stars just a dancin' in my eyes
                  Am
And I can hardly stand these butterflies
 
                       F
Well please excuse me m'am
                        G
I've gone and shown my hand
                  C        C
For the fool that I, I I am

Well since you've gone and seen

OUTRO:
                 C
I might as well kiss my pride goodbye
             Am               D
What I truly am I just can't hide
 
                       F
Well please excuse me m'am
                        G
I've gone and shown my hand
                   C
For the fool that I, I I am
