🎶 The Alcott

[Eb]I get myself twisted in [A#]threads to meet [Db]you [Eb]at The Alcott [A#] [Db]
I [Em]go to the corner in the [A#]back where [Db]you'd [Em]always be [A#] [Db]
And [Eb]there you are sittin' as [A#]usual with [Db]your [Eb]golden notebook [A#] [Db]
[Em]Writin' something about [A#]someone who [Db]used to [Em]be me [A#] [Db]

And the [A#]last thing you wanted
Is the [Db]first thing I do
I [Bb]tell you my problems
You [Db]tell me the truth
It's the [A#]last thing you wanted
It's the [Db]first thing I do
I [Bb]tell you that I think I'm fallin'
[Db]Back in love with you

[Eb]I sit there silently [A#]waiting [Db]for you [Eb]to look up ah [A#]ah [Db]ah
[Em]I see you smile when [A#][Db]you see [Em]it's me [A#] [Db]
I [Eb]had to do something to [A#]break into [Db]your [Eb]golden thinking [A#] [Db]
[Em]How many times will I [A#]do this and [Db]you'll [Em]still believe? [A#] [Db]

It's the [A#]last thing you wanted
Tell me which side are you on, dear?
It's the [Db]first thing you do
Give me some tips to forget you
You [Bb]tell me your problems
Have I become one of your problems?
And I [Db]tell you the truth
Could it be easy this once?
It's the [A#]last thing you wanted
Everything that's mine is a landmine
It's the [Db]first thing I do
Did my love aid and abet you?
I [Bb]tell you that I think I'm fallin'
[Db]Back in love with you

And I'll [Em]ruin it all over ha ha
I'll [Bb]ruin it for you ha ha
I'll [A#]ruin it all over ha
And over like [Db]I always do
Why don't you [Em]
I'll ruin it all over
Rain on my parade? [Bb]
I'll ruin it for you
Shred my evening gown [A#]
I'll ruin it all over
Read my sentence out loud [Db]
And over like I always do
'cause I love this curse on our house

It's the [A#]last thing I wanted
Tell me which side are you on, dear?
It's the [Db]first thing I do
Give me some tips to forget you
I [Bb]tell you my problems
Have I become one of your problems?
And you [Db]tell me the truth
Could it be easy this once?
It's the [A#]last thing I wanted
Everything that's mine is a landmine
It's the [Db]first thing I do
Did my love aid and abet you?
I [Bb]tell you that I think I'm fallin'

[Db]Back in love, back in love with [Em]you [A#] [Db]
Back in love
[Em] [A#]Back in [Db]love with [Em]you [A#] [Db]
[Em] [A#] [Db] ⠀
