A Fool's Paradise

Key: F Major
Tempo: Dreamy, Slow Swing

[Verse 1]
F C Dm
I built my castle on clouds in the sky,
Bb F C
Where dreams don’t fade, and hopes never die.
F C Dm
Living on wishes and words so sweet,
Bb F C
In a fool’s paradise, life feels complete.

[Chorus]
F C Bb F
It’s a fool’s paradise, where the truth won’t show,
Dm C Bb F
Where love stays young, and time moves slow.
F C Bb F
I’ll dance in the dark, let the daylight lie,
Dm C Bb F
In a fool’s paradise, where dreams never die.
[Verse 2]
F C Dm
I’ve painted skies in colors so rare,
Bb F C
Hung stars that sparkle like I’m not aware.
F C Dm
Of cracks in the walls, the storm’s warning call,
Bb F C
But here in my world, I see none at all.

[Chorus]
F C Bb F
It’s a fool’s paradise, where the truth won’t show,
Dm C Bb F
Where love stays young, and time moves slow.
F C Bb F
I’ll dance in the dark, let the daylight lie,
Dm C Bb F
In a fool’s paradise, where dreams never die.

[Bridge]
Bb F C Dm
Maybe someday the sun will rise too bright,
Bb F C
And shatter the spell of my endless night.
Bb F C Dm
But ‘til that day, I’ll hold on tight,
Bb C
To a world that feels so right.
[Chorus]
F C Bb F
It’s a fool’s paradise, where the truth won’t show,
Dm C Bb F
Where love stays young, and time moves slow.
F C Bb F
I’ll dance in the dark, let the daylight lie,
Dm C Bb F
In a fool’s paradise, where dreams never die.

[Outro]
Bb F C F
Yes, a fool’s paradise, where I’m free to pretend,
Bb F C F
In this make-believe world that will never end.
