[E]
You took me up to heaven when you took me in your arms.
[A] I was dazzled by your beauty, blinded by your charms.
I [B] was lost in a fool's [E] paradise, good [B] and lost in a fool's [E] paradise.
Well, then you told me that you loved me, and I gave my heart to you.
Oh, [A] well, I wonder if there could be any truth in a love so new.
I was [B] lost in a fool's [E] paradise, good [B] and lost in a fool's [E] paradise.
[A] The whole world was my kingdom [E] and your love to jam in my crown.
But [F#] when I saw you glance at a new romance, [B] you know my love came tumbling down.
[A] [B] [E] Oh, well, you treat me kind of coolish, and you never let me know that [A] you think I'm being foolish.
Because I love you so I still get [B] lost [F#m] [B] [F#m]
in a [E] fool's paradise, good [B] and lost [F#m]
in a [B] fool's [E] paradise.
