[Chorus]
AmD How come I end up where I started?
EmD How come I end up where I went wrong?
AmD Won't take my eyes off the ball again
EmD You reel me out then you cut the string
AmD How come I end up where I started?
EmD How come I end up where I went wrong?
AmD I won't take my eyes off the ball again
EmD First you reel me out and then you cut the string
 [Verse 1]
AmD You used to be all right
EmD What happened?
AmDEmD Did the cat get your tongue?
AmDEmD Did your string come undone?
AmDEmD One by one
AmDEmD One by one
AmDEmD It comes to us all
AmDEmD It's as soft as your pillow
 [Verse 2]
AmD You used to be all right
EmD What happened?
AmDEmD Et cetera, et cetera
AmDEmD Fads for whatever
AmD Fifteen steps
EmD Then a sheer drop
 [Chorus]
AmD How come I end up where I started?
EmD How come I end up where I went wrong?
AmD Won't take my eyes off the ball again
EmD
