VERSE 1
[Eb/Ab]There are t[Eb/G]imes when faith and common sense do not align

[Eb/Ab]When hard core [Eb/G]evidence of You is hard to find

[Eb/Ab]And I am si[Eb/G]lenced in the face of argumenative debate

[Eb/Ab]And it̵[Eb/G]7;s a long hill, it’s a lonely climb. Cause they
[Gm/C]want proof.

[G/B]They want proof of all these mysteries I claim,

[F/A]Cause only fools would want to chant a dead man’s name

CHORUS
Maybe it’s true, yeah.

I would be a fool for You.
All because You asked me to.
A simpl[Abm/Cb]eton who’s seemingly naive.
I do be[Abm/Cb]lieve You came and
Made Yourself a fool fo[Eb/Ab]r me.[Eb/G]

VERSE 2 (same chords)

I admit that in my darkest hours I’ve asked, “What if?”
What if we created some kind of manmade faith like this
Out of good intentions or emotional invention
And after life is through there will be no You.

Cause they want proof of all these miracles I claim,
Cause only fools believe that men can walk on waves.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
[Ab/Cb]Unaware of popularity
[Abm/Cb]Unconcerned with dignity
[Cm/Bb]You made[F/A] me free.
That’s proof enough for me.

CHORUS (same chords, different words)
I would be a fool for You.
Only if You asked me to.
A simpleton who’s only thnking of the cause of love.

I will speak Jesus name.
If that makes me craze, they can call me crazed.
I’m happy to be seemingly naive.
I do believe You cam and made Yourself a fool for me.
