Dm  C   G
F   C   G
F   C   G

[Verse 1]
Dm
I get myself twisted in
 C               G
threads to meet you
    Dm          C  G
 at The Alcott
  F
I go to the corner in the
 C          G
 back where you'd
       F   C  G
always be
    Dm
And there you are sittin'
    C          G
as usual with your
        Dm        C  G
 golden notebook
F
Writin' something about
 C           G         F   C  G
 someone who used to be me

[Chorus 1]
        C
And the last thing
you wanted
       G
Is the first thing I do
  Am
I tell you my problems
    G
You tell me the truth

         C
It's the last thing
 you wanted
         G
It's the first thing I do
  Am
I tell you that
 I think I'm fallin'
G
  Back in love with you

[Verse 2]
Dm                   C
I sit there silently waiting
 G       Dm
for you to look up
      C  G
 (ah ah ah)
F
I see you smile when
  C  G        F   C  G
 you see it's me
  Dm
I had to do something to
 C          G
 break into your golden
Dm        C  G
 thinking
F                     C
How many times will I do
          G
this and you'll still
 F         C  G
 believe?

[Chorus 2]
         C
It's the last thing you wanted
(Tell me which side
are you on, dear?)
         G
It's the first thing you do
(Give me some tips
to forget you)
    Am
You tell me your problems
(Have I become one of
 your problems?)
      G
And I tell you the truth
(Could it be easy
 this once?)

         C
It's the last thing you wanted
(Everything that's
mine is a landmine)
         G
It's the first thing I do
(Did my love aid and
 abet you?)
  Am
I tell you that
I think I'm fallin'
G
  Back in love with you
