For The First Time

[Intro] D/C  F/Eb  A/G

C
Look at the sun and the sky and the 
sand and
    Eb9
The sea behind me
C
Look at me, suddenly I am on land
        Eb9
And I'm free, don't mind me as I
Ab9
Climb for the first time
Cm7(9)
Jump for the first time
G                                 
Trying to stand but this gravity's
            C
 pulling me down

( D/C  C/Bb  A/G  F/G )

Look, it's a fire, it's warm and it 
glows
       Eb9
And it lights this chamber
C                                 
Let me admire it—, ow, get too 
          Eb9
close and it bites
           Ab9
I came too close for the first time
Cm
Burned for the first time
G                        E
Everything's clearer and brighter 
and hotter
    Am                       Ab
But now that I'm here like a fish 
out of water
    G                       
I'm trying to stand but this 
                       C
gravity's pulling me down

D/C         Bb
Are we only food for slaughter
Am        D       G
  Is this life on land?
      C               Eb
Well, you were lonely underwater
Gb                      Gm
Come on, Ariel, time to stand

( Cm  Ab )

 C
Squeeze in the shoes and the corset,
 it's tight
        Eb9
And the seams are bursting
C
Some women choose this, I guess it's
 alright
       Eb9
Are my dreams adjusting?

Up the stairs
         Ab9    Bb/Ab
From the shore

From that moment

( Cm Bb/C Cm )

And he'll smile
        Fm/C

When I say—

C
Realize the price that you paid with
 your voice
      Eb9
As he turns from you

Those sacrifices you made were a 
choice
         Eb9
That you can't undo
Ab9
Lost for the first time
Cm7
Scared for the first time

pulling me down
