First Things First

A

     F#m            D                A
It began when I was twenty-one years old
       F#m              E             A
And my mom and dad were begging me to go
     F#m                D                A
So I left a note and we went and hit the road
F#m              E               A
Me and Chris and all the stuff I own

Bm                             D                            A
I went out to find my soul and left the only comfort that I know
   Bm                          D
It wasn't 'bout a girl or even California bleeding
       F#m                            E
It was all about me choosing where to go


And I sing
F#m     Bm
You are never gonna get
A
Everything you want in this world
F#m
First things first
D              A
Get what you deserve

F#m     Bm
You are never gonna get
A
Everything you want in this world
F#m
First things first
D              A
Get what you deserve

           F#m               D              A
There were years I felt like everything was new
F#m             E              A
Long before the troubles of my youth
           F#m               D                A
There were days and nights I couldn't see the end
      F#m             E           A
And I swear the music was my only friend

    Bm
You learn to lie about forgiveness
D                                    A
When you choose to let down all your pride
Bm
I don't wanna be so famous
D                           E
I just want to sing until I die


So sing it
F#m     Bm
You are never gonna get
A
Everything you want in this world
F#m
First things first
D              A
Get what you deserve

F#m     Bm
You are never gonna get
A
Everything you want in this world
F#m
First things first
D            A
Get what you deserve

Bm
When I wish upon a star
     D
I'll tell it how I got this far

   F#m                  D             F#m   A
It began when I learned how to face myself
        F#m            D                A
And I'm still deciding if I'm something else
      F#m               D              F#m   A
I'm a million different people all the time
            E           A
But there's only one of me to get it right

F#m D A x2
