Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Remember  the summer we sat  in the rain
Counting  the cars on the Southern  bound trains
 And just for a moment
 Our gazes  would meet
Lips  just an instant from kisses  so sweet
So  what ever happened
You  turned away
 And I  never thought of the right  thing to say
 So many times i have thought  of the kiss
We  never shared
 Now you?re telling  me this
You  could have fooled me
 I had  no idea
 That you  were so very in love  with me, dear
You  did not show it
 And now  it seems cruel
 You could have fooled  me
 I?m that  much a fool
You  were a brother, a friend,  and a man
 Who i thought  I knew like the back  of my hand
 Now you?re here waiting
 Your eyes  wet with tears
 Confessing  a love after so  many years
 Well you  could have fooled me
 I had  no idea
You  were so very in love  with me, dear
You  did not show it
 And now  it seems cruel
 You could have fooled  me
 I?m that  much a fool
 (solo-- accordion, guitar, etc.)
 Well i waited
 And wondered
 What seems  like a lifetime and then
 i loved  you like a brother
 And cherished  you so as a friend
Remember  the winter you  went away
Something  inside of me died  on that day
 And now i am married
 I play  by the rules
 I cannot  go with you
 I'm that  much a fool
But  you could have fooled me
 I had  no idea
 That you  were so very in love  with me, dear
You  did not show it
 And now  it seems cruel
 You could have  fooled me
 I?m that  much a fool
