Biography:
American singer-songwriter Melissa Ferrick (born September 21, 1970) emerged in 1991 as part of a group of new female alternative singer/songwriters, much in the vein of Liz Phair. Ferrick began singing in coffeehouses after dropping out of college, eventually winding up in Boston. Her major breakthrough arrived one night when she replaced Morrissey's opening act less than an hour before showtime. Ferrick's performance impressed Morrissey and he invited her to open for him during the rest of the tour.

F C Em Am
[Verse]
C G C G
I'm thinking that you got some sort of hold on me

It's making me crazy

Making me crazy
C G C G
N' I know my life it is sort of out of control

But you know my mind goes faster

'Cause I thought love was hard
Em Am
So I tried with all my might

And you are talking to me

C G
So I'm taking a walk
C G
Down to my favorite coffee shop
C G
Sit down in the corner
C G
And try to write down my thoughts
C G
But all my thoughts are jumbled
C G
Into some crazy state of grade
F
And well what I do but soothe it
G
With a picture of your face
[Chorus]
F C
'Cause I thought love was hard
Em Am
So I tried with all my might
F C
'N I thought love lasted
Em Am
So I always stayed the night

Now I'm in your chair

And you talking to me
