Dm C G
Dm C G
F     C G
F     C G

[Verse 1]
Dm                              C                        G        Dm           C G
I get myself twisted in threads to meet you at The Alcott
   F                                   C                G                 F    C G
I go to the corner in the back where you'd always be
        Dm                               C               G                 Dm         C G
And there you are sittin' as usual with your golden notebook
F                                     C                      G           F      C G
Writin' something about 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           G          Dm                 C   G
I sit there silently waiting for you to look up (ah ah ah)
F                                C  G           F     C G
I see you smile when you see it's me
   Dm                                 C               G              Dm         C G
I had to do something to break into your golden thinking
F                                  C                 G            F            C G
How many times will I do this and you'll still 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

[Bridge]
             F
And I'll ruin it all over (ha ha)
      Am
I'll ruin it for you (ha ha)
      C
I'll ruin it all over (ha)
                      G
And over like I always do

                        F
(Why don't you)
I'll ruin it all over
                                 Am
(Rain on my parade?)
I'll ruin it for you
                                        C
(Shred my evening gown)
I'll ruin it all over
                                              G
(Read my sentence out loud)
And over like I always do
('cause I love this curse on our house)

[Chorus 3]
             C
It's the last thing I wanted
(Tell me which side are you on, dear?)
            G
It's the first thing I do
(Give me some tips to forget you)
   Am
I tell you my problems
(Have I become one of your problems?)
               G
And you tell me the truth
(Could it be easy this once?)

            C
It's the last thing I 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'
