The First Time

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

C
Traveled the world, but it got me nowhere
D
Nothing could ever compare

  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

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 nothing

Was nothing, had nothing

I only had

  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

( 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


  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

                  D
The first time we met
                  C
The first time we met
                         G
There's nothing like the first time
    D             C
The first time we met
