Harder Than The First Time

A E D E


[Verse 1]
            A            A
How did we ever come to this?
            E                      E
You cry and I just sit in silence
              D                    
What does it mean to be a good man?
 D

                 E                 
When every time you take my hand, I
         Dsus2
 pull us both down again
            A           A
When did I ever get so mean?
                  E                
You've done your best try'na give 
          E
me what I need
           D                 D
How did I make you my enemy?
            E                   
Letting my ego control me 'til I 
  Dsus2
lose my best friend


[Pre-Chorus]
        Bm
In the end, it's you
                  C#m
It's always been you
                         F#m
That's something I can't undo
                        E
And I'll do all that I can just to 
make it through


[Chorus 1]
        A                          
We'll fight through the battles now
   E

                         F#m
This is our war to win
                            D
Can't let it take us down

This time I will defend
 A                   E
How do we keep our love on the front
 line?
 F#m               D
Let's fall even harder than the 
first time

[Verse 2]
              A                
The heat was hot when we met in 
 A
Miami
              E                  
Your loving eyes locked with mine 
         E
and you had me
          D                    D
I wanna crash into that memory
              E                    
Love you the way that I didn't, be 
    Dsus2
the man I should be
             A                 A
But I fall back, not being my best
              E                    
Like all my pride's getting put to 
     E
the test
              D               D
I've been projecting bad energy
                E                  
When every day I've got the chance 
            Dsus2
to love you more than the rest


[Pre-Chorus]
        Bm
Don't forget, it's you
                  C#m
It's always been you
                         F#m
That's something I can't undo
                        E
And I'll do all that I can just to 
make it through


[Chorus 2]
       A                           
We'll fight through the battles now
 E

                         F#m
This is our war to win
                          D
Can't let it take us down

This time I will defend
 A                  E
How do we keep our love on the front
 line?
F#m               D
Let's fall even harder than the 
first time
   A                       E
Promise to treat you right
                         F#m
Be patient when I should
                          D
Hold on you just as tight as I 
always said I would
 A                   E
How do we keep our love on the front
 line?
F#m               D          
Let's fall even harder than the 
                  F#m
first time


[Bridge]
         E   D      D
I would die for you
         F#m           E          
Take a bullet, coming right for 
    D      D
your life
    F#m       E               A  
Oh, I'd sacrifice everything for 
     D
you
            F#m          E     
You should know I'll be right by 
         D         D
your side, yeah


[Chorus 2]
        A                          
We'll fight through the battles now
  E

                        F#m

Can't let it take us down

This time I will defend
 A                   E            
How do we keep our love on the 
          F#m
front line?
                  D
Let's fall even harder than the 
first time
   A                       E
Promise to treat you right
                         F#m
Be patient when I should
                           D

How do we keep our love on the front
 line?

first time
