Last time, I thought we had this talk
Gm
Boy, you were getting ready to leave

This time, I thought that we'd be fine
Gm
That I'd forget the thing that you said

We tried going back to Joe's

Last time, we were hanging out
Gm
You were acting kind of strange
Dm C Bb
Now it's the second time around

It's me that feels this way
