[Intro] G  D  C
        G  D

  G          C         Em      D
I thought my heart had felt it all
  G              C                 Em            D
I swam for miles across the ocean, never met the shore
   G         C          Em         D
My eyes were closed, my highs were lows
     G                C                  Em                D
Just gettin' drunk on pills and potions, cravin' something more

C
Traveled the world, but it got me nowhere
D
Nothing could ever compare

  G
A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
            D
And all the drugs I've done, they never got me higher
         C
Than the first time we met
                         G             D
There's nothing like the first time we met
  G
I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin'
      D/F#
And I talk to God, He couldn't get me higher
         C
Than the first time we met
                         G               D             G
There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met

     G          C      Em
That night, the stars aligned
       D         G
Heaven dropped a line
              C                       Em
Before you, I was just a flare in the sky
           D                          G
A kid too afraid to go to play in the light
            C                      Em
A colorless painter, a man with no sight
                  D
Before you, I was nothing, was nothing, had nothing

I only had

  G
A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
            D
And all the drugs I've done, they never got me higher
         C
Than the first time we met
                         G             D
There's nothing like the first time we met
  G
I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin'
      D/F#
And I talk to God, He couldn't get me higher
         C
Than the first time we met
                         G               D
There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met

( Am  G  C )

D
 You set the room on fire

You take the angels higher
C
 I heard a thousand choirs
                                 D
Oh, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet
                                C
Traveled the world, it got me nowhere

Nothing could ever compare

  G
A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
    D
The drugs I've done, they never got me higher
         C
Than the first time we met
                         G             D
There's nothing like the first time we met
  G
I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flying
      D/F#
And I talk to God, He couldn't get me higher
         C
Than the first time we met
                         G               D             G
There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met

                  D
The first time we met
                  C
The first time we met
                         G               D
There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met
