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