First Time In A Long Time

D A Em G (2x)

[Verse 1]
Bm                  D
Lately I've been losin' sleep
G                    D
Stayin' up with your memory
Bm                   D                      A
All my friends say, "Hey, we're a little concerned"
       Bm                D
But I got my wine and I got my smoke
G                    D
And every letter you ever wrote
Bm                     A          G
Tonight I'll light one up, let it burn


[Chorus]
         D        A            Em
Cause I feel all right for the first time
      G
In a long time
       D        A                 Em
And I see the light now that I'm walkin'
         G
In the sunshine
       D          A              Em
I was singin' my song and it goes
              G
Shan na na na na na na
   D        A             Em
I feel all right for the first time
      G
In a long time


[Verse 2]
Bm             D
This morning I took a look outside
G                  D
And all the people passin' by
Bm             D         A
Nobody noticed you were gone
Bm              D
Put on my shoes, a different man
G                      D
Went to the docks where my ship came in
Bm                     A
I watched that tide rollin' on and on
G
And on and on and on


[Chorus]
         D        A            Em
Cause I feel all right for the first time
      G
In a long time
       D        A                 Em
And I see the light now that I'm walkin'
         G
In the sunshine
       D          A              Em
I was singin' my song and it goes
              G
Shan na na na na na na
   D        A             Em
I feel all right for the first time
      G
In a long time

[Instrumental]
Bm   D   G   Bm   A   G

[Bridge]
D               A
It took a while for me to see
Bm              G
What everybody knew but me
D                A              G
And I don't care where you are tonight

('Cause I feel all right)


[Chorus]
         D        A            Em
Cause I feel all right for the first time
      G
In a long time
       D        A                 Em
And I see the light now that I'm walkin'
         G
In the sunshine
       D          A              Em
I was singin' my song and it goes
              G
Shan na na na na na na
   D        A             Em
I feel all right for the first time
      G
In a long time

[Outro]
   D      A     Em             G
I feel all right shan na na na na na na
   D      A     Em             G
I see the light shan na na na na na na
         D              A         Em
For the first time in a long time
              G
Shan na na na na na na
         D              A         Em
For the first time in a long time
              G
Shan na na na na na na
