For The First Time

C G Am F

[Verse 1]
C
Trying really hard
                                      C G Am F
I'm trying harder than I ever have before
C                   G            Am                 F              C G Am F
Used to think that taking care of myself would just become a real bore
    C              G                    Am        F                C   G        Am    F
On Friday nights I don't spend too much time lying on the bathroom floor, like I used to
     C           G                Am            F              C G Am F
The demons deep inside of me they might have finally been set free


[Chorus]
       Dm                     F
And I guess this is what they mean
               C            G Am F
When they say people can change
          Dm            F
'Cause I finally feel free
                C    G   Am F        C G Am F
I feel like myself again but for the first time


[Verse 2]
C                    G                Am   F                      C G Am F
I changed the colors of the bed sheets now they are a pretty pale pink
C                    G       Am               F       C G Am F
Traded her in for a new girl and she's looking pretty fine
C                       G            Am              F             C    G         Am  F
But sometimes she don't listen to me, and it makes me wanna lose my mind, like you used to
C                   G              Am           F            C G Am F
I tried to blame it all on you, but I know that I'm to blame too


[Chorus]
       Dm                     F
And I guess this is what they mean
               C            G Am F
When they say people can change
          Dm            F
'Cause I finally feel free
                C    G   Am F        C G Am F
I feel like myself again but for the first time


[Instrumental]
C G Am F
C G Am F


[Bridge]
   Dm                F                   C
I used to think that I would die without you
    Dm             F                 C
And no offense to you but I'm doing fine too


[Outro]
        Dm         F
'Cause finally I'm free
                C    G   Am F        C G Am F
I feel like myself again but for the first time
    C       G     Am       F            C G Am F
And no offense to you but I'm doing fine too
             C     G Am F
But for the first time
              C     G Am F
Yeah, for the first time
                C     G A F
Yeah, for the first time
