The Northern Folk - Foolish Child

      [Verse 1]
N.C.
Stupid child, the streets are wild
N.C.
And they lied when they said the world was better
N.C.
You called to the night, your voice out of sight
N.C.
And you were thick to think that he felt it


[Chorus]
Dm           F
Foolish child
N.C.
These games are far too hard
                     C
Mind your heart next time
Dm           F
Foolish child
N.C.
Watch your bones fall apart
                               C
And boys can't put them back together


[Verse 2]
F                  C
Velvet voice, your car the only noise
       A#                          F
As you soothed the creases from my brow
F                      C
All my fears that I've harboured all these years
     A#                          F
Were forgotten by the end of the hour


[Chorus]
Dm           F
Foolish child
N.C.
These games are far too hard
                     C
Mind your heart next time
Dm           F
Foolish child
N.C.
Watch your bones fall apart
                               C
And boys can't put them back together

[Bridge] 
Dm                           C
Watch your step, 'cause your soul's all you've left
            F                 C
When you're lying deep in the ground
Dm                           C
Watch your step, 'cause your soul's all you've left
            F                 C
When you're lying deep in the ground
Dm                           C
Watch your step, 'cause your soul's all you've left
            F                 C
When you're lying deep in the ground
Dm                           C
Watch your step, 'cause your soul's all you've left
            F                 C
When you're lying deep in the ground
Dm                           C
Watch your step, 'cause your soul's all you've left
            F                 C
When you're lying deep in the ground
