E9 - A7 - D7 - G7 - F#7 - F - E9



 VERSE 1:
E9                              A7
  Driving back from God-knows where
E9                            A7  G#7  G7
  How'd you stay so long in Bloom-ing-ton?
D7                                  G7 F#7 F
  Trying to figure out just what it is a-bout him



 VERSE 2:
E9                                A7
  Now you've found you're on your own
E9                           A7   G#7  G7
  Trying to find a place to hang your coat
D7                            G7    F#7   F
  Can't you see that all the birds have flown away?



 CHORUS 1:
   E   D6 A11    A          Cdim7          C#m
  Yest-er-day's fool comes running back to you
   E   D6 A11    A       Cdim7            C#m
  Yest-er-day's fool is trying to play it cool
    E9              A7      D7              G7
  Dropping out of school, breaking all the rules
  F#7  F              E9
  But who is fooling who?



 VERSE 3:
E9                         A7
  Patterns never seem to change
E9                         A7   G#7   G7
  Same old heartache by a diffe-rent name
D7                                G7   F#7   F
  You start out happy but when it all falls down again



 VERSE 4:
E9                        A7
  You can come and cry to me
E9                                     A7  G#7 G7
  But that's not the way that it's supposed to be
D7                              G7   F#7 F
  I keep wondering when you're going to see I'm...



 CHORUS 2:
   E   D6 A11    A    Cdim7          C#m
  Yest-er-day's fool running back to you
   E   D6 A11    A    Cdim7            C#m
  Yest-er-day's fool trying to play it cool
    E9              A7      D7              G7
  Dropping out of school, breaking all the rules
  F#7  F              E9
  But who is fooling who?

   E   D6 A11    A       Cdim7            C#m
  Yest-er-day's fool is trying to play it cool
    E9              A7            D7              G7
  Dropping out of school, still breaking all the rules
  F#7  F               F
  But who is fooling, who is fooling
       F                             E
  But who is fooling, who's fooling who?
