        C  G  Em  A

[Primera Parte]

C                G
I cannot follow us like a persistent worm
Em                             A7
That's not a thing that I can do
C                     G
You are a lake of love, a raging genius
Em                               A7
And you don't want the things I do

[Estribillo]

Am                                        Em
The first time we met up, asked you in for coffee
                     C                        G
You said, "That's the oldest trick in the book"
                           Am                 Em
And when I think about you often, I picture you smoking
               C                      G
When I used the oldest trick in the book

[Segunda Parte]

C7M                G
Cute if not pitiful, so unoriginal
Em                       A7
 And yet, it's how it all begins
C                      G
If I'm a lake, then you, you're a deep diver
       Em                         A7
And who can say if that's enough to win?

[Estribillo]

Am                                        Em
The first time we met up, asked you in for coffee
                     C                        G
You said, "That's the oldest trick in the book"
                           Am                 Em
And when I think about you often, I picture you smoking
               C                      G
When I used the oldest trick in the book

[Final] C  G  Em  A

                           Am                 Em
And when I think about you often, I picture you smoking
               C                      G
When I used the oldest trick in the book
