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
I thought my heart had felt it all
I swam for miles across the ocean
Never met the shore
My eyes were closed
My highs were lows
Just getting drunk on pills and potions
Craving something more
Traveled the world, but it got me nowhere
Nothing could ever compare
A kiss, a touch
A song that made me cry
And all the drugs I've done
They never got me higher
Than the first time we met
There's nothing like the first time we met
I crashed my car
Oh baby I was flying
And I talked to God
He couldn't get me higher
Than the first time we met
There's nothing like the first time
The first time we met
That night, the stars aligned
Heaven dropped a line
Before you, I was just a flare in the sky
A kid too afraid to go to play in the light
A colorless painter
A man with no sight
Before you, I was nothing
Was nothing
Had nothing
I only had
A kiss, a touch
A song that made me cry
And all the drugs I've done
They never got me higher
Than the first time we met
There's nothing like the first time we met
I crashed my car
Oh baby I was flying
And I talked to God
He couldn't get me higher
Than the first time we met
There's nothing like the first time
The first time we met
You set the room on fire
You take the angels higher
I heard a thousand choirs
Oh baby you ain't seen nothing yet
Traveled the world, it got me nowhere
Nothing could ever compare
A kiss, a touch
A song that made me cry
Drugs I've done
They never got me higher
Than the first time we met
There's nothing like the first time we met
And when I crashed my car
Oh baby I was flying
And I talked to God
He couldn't get me higher
Than the first time we met
There's nothing like the first time
The first time we met
The first time we met
The first time we met
There's nothing like the first time
The first time we met
