[Dm]I get myself twisted in

[C]threads to meet [G]you [Dm]at The Alcott [C] [G]

I [F]go to the corner in the

[C]back where [G]you'd [F]always be [C] [G]

And [Dm]there you are sittin' as

[C]usual with [G]your [Dm]golden notebook [C] [G]

[F]Writin' something about [C]someone who [G]used to [F]be me [C] [G]

 

And the [C]last thing you wanted

Is the [G]first thing I do

I [Am]tell you my problems

You [G]tell me the truth

It's the [C]last thing you wanted

It's the [G]first thing I do

I [Am]tell you that I think I'm fallin'

waiting [G]for you [Dm]to look up ah [C]ah [G]ah

[F]I see you smile when [C] [G]you see [F]it's me [C] [G]

I [Dm]had to do something to [C]break

into [G]your [Dm]golden thinking [C] [G]

[F]How many times will I [C]do this

and [G]you'll [F]still believe? [C] [G]

 

It's the [C]last thing you wanted

And I'll [F]ruin it all over ha ha

I'll [Am]ruin it for you ha ha

I'll [C]ruin it all over ha

And over like [G]I always do

Why don't you [F]

 

Rain on my parade? [Am]

 

Shred my evening gown [C]

 

Read my sentence out loud [G]

 

It's the [C]last thing I wanted

 

It's the [G]first thing I do

 

I [Am]tell you my problems

 

And you [G]tell me the truth

 

It's the [C]last thing I wanted

 

It's the [G]first thing I do

 

I [Am]tell you that I think I'm fallin'

 

[G]Back in love, back in love with [F]you [C] [G]
