Dm
I get myself twisted in

threads to meet you
Dm C G
at The Alcott
F
I go to the corner in the

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

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'

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
