Intro
EAEE7
It's the first time that I've been here,
A
Since I was here with him.
F#mC#m
I remember all the wild flowers,
AB
Wavin' in the wind.
EE7
Life was an undiscovered river:
AE/G#F#mBsusB
I was jumpin' in head first.
EB/D#
It was sink or swim; do or die;
C#mB
Sneakin' out on summer nights,
AE/G#
Stealin' wine from my Pa,
B
The thrill of not gettin' caught.
EB/D#
An' now an' then I miss those days,
C#mB
But comin' back to this place,
AE/G#F#m
I realise it ain't him I miss,
ABEAF#m
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah.
EE7
We ran off to the corn field,
A
Just outside the county fair;
F#mC#m
There were butterflies in my stomach,
AB
An' fireflies in the air.
EE7
He tried hard not to show it,
AE/G#F#mBsusB
Oh, but he was just as scared as me.
EB/D#
And it was sink or swim; do or die;
C#mB
Sneakin' out on summer nights,
AE/G#
Stealin' wine from my Pa,
B
The thrill of not gettin' caught.
EB/D#
An' now an' then I miss those days,
C#mB
But comin' back to this place,
AE/G#F#m
I realise it ain't him I miss,
ABE
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah.
AB
And coming here has made me come to this:
AB
The one thing I can't get back is the one thing I miss, yeah.
EB/D#
An' it was breakin' rules, flyin' blind;
C#mB
What you see through younger eyes;
AE/G#
It wasn't what I thought it was,
B
Man, I swore he was the one.
EB/D#
An' now an' then I miss those days,
C#mB
But comin' back to this place,
AE/G#F#m
I realise it ain't him I miss,
ABEE7
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah
ABEE7A
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah
EE7AF#m
It's that innocence
E
Mmmmm
