A                                           E7
I came back to you believing this time we'd work things out
E7                                      A
Even though we tried it once before and failed
A                                  E7
I put both my arms around you as I vowed my love again
E7                                      A
And completely cast myself beneath your spell


[Chorus]
A                                         E7
But the second time around it turned out just like the first
E7                                        D             A
Except the second time around I think the heartache was worse
A                                   D
For twice I put my faith in you and twice you let me down
D      E7                           A
But it hurt me more the second time around


[Instrumental--Electric Guitar]
A  E7  E7  A
A  A   E7  E7
E7 E7  A   A


[Verse 2]
A                                      E7
I think I'll write myself a letter and address it to a fool
E7                                     A
Cause nobody but a fool would love you so
A                                     E7
And if you came back tomorrow and you wanted me again
E7                                                A
I don't believe I'd have the strength to tell you no


[Chorus]
A                                        E7
But the second time around it turned out just like the first
E7                                        D             A
Except the second time around I think the heartache was worse
A                                   D
For twice I put my faith in you and twice you let me down
D      E7                           A
But it hurt me more the second time around
