The First Time

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
G D C
G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
  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
My eyes were closed
   Em         D
My highs were lows
     G                C
Just gettin' drunk on pills and potions
Em                D
Cravin' something more
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Traveled the world but it got me nowhere
D
Nothing could ever compare
 
 
[Chorus]
  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 talked to God, He couldn't get me higher
         C
Than the first time we met
                         G
There's nothing like the first time
    D             G
The first time we met
 
 
[Verse 2]
     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 nothin'
 
Was nothin', had nothin'
 
I only had
 
 
[Chorus]
  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 talked to God, He couldn't get me higher
         C
Than the first time we met
                         G
There's nothing like the first time
    D
The first time we met
 
 
[Bridge]
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 but it got me nowhere
 
Nothing could ever compare
 
 
[Chorus]
  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 talked to God, He couldn't get me higher
         C
Than the first time we met
                         G
There's nothing like the first time
    D             G
The first time we met
 
 
[Outro]
                  D
The first time we met
                  C
The first time we met
                         G
There's nothing like the first time
    D             N.C.
The first time we met
