The First Time

[Intro] G  D  C
        G  D

  G          C         Em      D
I thought my heart had felt it all
  G              C                 
I swam for miles across the ocean, 
Em            D
never met the shore
   G         C          Em        
My eyes were closed, my highs were 
 D
lows
     G                C       
Just gettin' drunk on pills and 
           Em                D
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         
There's nothing like the first time
    D
 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         
There's nothing like the first 
      D             G
time, the first time we met

     G          C      Em
That night, the stars aligned
Continues after the ad
       D         G
Heaven dropped a line
              C                  
Before you, I was just a flare in 
     Em
the sky
           D                     
A kid too afraid to go to play in 
     G
the light
            C                      
A colorless painter, a man with no 
Em
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         
There's nothing like the first time
    D
 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         
There's nothing like the first 
      D
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
Traveled the world, it got me 
  C
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         
There's nothing like the first time
    D
 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         
There's nothing like the first 
      D             G
time, the first time we met

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