[Intro]
Dm   C   G

Dm   C   G

F   C   G 


[Verse 1]
Dm                          C 
I give myself twisted-in threads
         G    Dm          C   G
To meet you at The Alcott
     F                       C 
I'd Go to the corner in the back
        G        F    C   G 
Where you'd always be
      Dm                      C 
And there you are, sittin' as usual
      G         Dm        C   G
With your golden notebook
  F                      C 
Writing something about someone
    G         F   C   G 
Who used to be me


[Chorus]
         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 
I sit there silently
  C      G      Dm          C  G        
Waitin' for you to look up (Ah)
F           
I see you smile
      C  G    F        C  G  
When yo...see it's me
Dm 
I had to Do something
     C          G        Dm         C  G    
To break into your golden thinking (Ah)
 F                     C 
How many times will I Do this
      G       F            C  G 
And you'll still believe? (Ah)

[Chorus]
         C               
And the last thing you wanted

(Tell me, which side are you on, dear?)
        G/B 
Is the first thing I 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]
          F  
And I'll ruin it all over (Ah-ah)
      Am       
I'll ruin it over for you (Ah-ah)
      C 
I'll ruin it all over (Ah-ah)
              G     
And over like I always Do (Ah-ah)
      F 
I'll ruin it all over

(Why don't you rain on my parade?)
      Am  
I'll ruin it over for you

(Shred my evenin' gown)
      C
I'll ruin it all over

(Read my sentence out loud)
              G
And over like I always do

('Cause I love this curse 

on our house)


[Chorus]
          C
It's the last thing I wanted

(Tell me, which side are you on, dear?)
          G/B 
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 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 (Back in love)
                   Dm   C   G 
Back in love with you 

[Outro]
Dm   C          G         F   C  G 
       Back in love with you
F   C   G
