[Verse]
 A                 Amaj7                 D                      E
Nickels and dimes, memories and wines;   She's on his mind once again
 A                  Amaj7                D                               E
The same old stool, the same old fool;  played by the rules, but didn't win
 Bm                        E
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
 Bm                        E
He tried forgettin' but he knows that it's no use

[Chorus]
           A    Amaj7   D
He's got a fool hearted memory
         Bm               E
It won't let him see that she walked out the door
           A    Amaj7   D
He's got a fool hearted memory
    Dm                     Bm             E               A
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more

[Verse]
 A                Amaj7           D                                  E
She was his girl, his only whirl; that string of pearls that slipped away
 A                Amaj7             D                         E
A thousand dimes, a thousand times; he doesn't mind what they say
 Bm                       E
He fills the jukebox, and plays the same old song
 Bm                             E
He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on

[Chorus]
           A    Amaj7   D
He's got a fool hearted memory
         Bm               E
It won't let him see that she walked out the door
           A    Amaj7   D
He's got a fool hearted memory
    Dm                     Bm             E               A
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more

           A    Amaj7   D
He's got a fool hearted memory
         Bm               E
It won't let him see that she walked out the door
           A    Amaj7   D
He's got a fool hearted memory
    Dm                     Bm             E               A
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more
