By Blue Rodeo 
Transcribed by Ryan Robson 

Bass intro: 
E string: 5-5-3-0-3-5-5-3-0-3-5-5-3-0-3-5-5-3-0-3 

Guitars: 
Am x 8 bars, Dm x 4 bars, Am x 4 bars, E x 2 bars, Dm x 2 bars, Am x 4 bars 

[Am] Isn’t it funny, funny to think 
I once believed you I though you were being straight 
[Dm] But what a bad joke well it’s always the same 
With [Am] one hand you offer, while the other slaps my face 

[E] You… you… 

[C] Made a [G] willin’ [D] fool 
[C] Made a [G] willin’ [D] fool… out of [Am] me 

From that Am, play it for 4 bars without vocals 

[Am] So there you sit in the great city of kicks 
Your apologetic fingers fumble with a pack of cigarettes 
[Dm] Your good intentions they’re hollow as your eyes 
Yeah [Am] you paint your world with brilliant lies 

[E] You… you… 

[C] Made a [G] willin’ [D] fool 
[C] Made a [G] willin’ [D] fool… out of me 

D for a bar, Am for 4 bars 

The last verse has limited guitar and only single notes on the piano, but it’s based on the previous verses 

The last time that I saw you, I was dangling from a ledge 
You posed quickly for a picture just before I lost my grip (B-B-B-B-A-G-A) 
You kind of remind me of those psychos in a German film 
Yeah you know that cool smirking weirdo with the… 
[Am] Voices in his head, voices in his head 
[Am] Voices in his head, [Am] voices in his [Am] voices in his 
[Am] Voices in his head 

[E] You… you… 

[C] Made a [G] willin’ [D] fool 
[C] Made a [G] willin’ [D] made a [A] willin’ 
[C] Made a [G] willin’ [D] fool… out of me
