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/B
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/B
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?

         C
It's the last thing you wanted
                          (Tell me which side are you on, dear?)
         G/B
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/B
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

And I'll ruin it all over (ha ha)

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

                    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)
