F#m
Good times they come and they go
F#m
Never going to know
Bm
What fate is going to blow
Bm
Your way just hope that it feels right
F#m
Sometimes it comes and it goes
F#m
You take it ever so slow
Bm
And then you lose it,
Bm
and then it flows right to you
F#m
So we rely on the past
F#m
And special moments that last
Bm
Were they as tender
Bm
As we dare to remember
F#m
Such a fine time as this
F#m
What could equal the bliss
Bm
The thrill of the first kiss
Bm
It'll blow right to you

[Chorus]
F#m                          Bm
It's never... as good as the first time...
F#m                          Bm
It's never... as good as the first time...
   (Never as good as the first time)

[Verse 2]
F#m
Good times they come and they go
F#m
Never going to know
Bm
It's like the weather, one day
Bm
chicken next day feathers
F#m
The rose we remember
F#m
The thorns we forget
Bm
We'd love and leave
Bm
We never spend a minute on regret
F#m
It is a possibility
F#m
The more we know the less we see
Bm
Second time
Bm
is not quite what it seemed
F#m
Natural as the way
F#m
We came to be
Bm
The second time
Bm
won't live up to the dream

[Chorus]
F#m                       Bm
It's never as good as the first time
   (never as good)
F#m                  Bm
Never as good as the first time
   (never as good as the first time)

[Bridge]
             F#m
Mmm Pa ra ra ra pum pum pum
                Bm
Pa pa ra ra ra, pum pum
         F#m
Pa ra ra ra pum pum pum
                Bm
Pa pa ra ra ra, pum pum

[Conclusion]
F#m                           Bm
Natural as the way we came to be
F#m                              Bm
Second time won't live up to the dream
F#m                              Bm
As natural as the way we came to be
F#m                                  Bm
The second time is not quite what it seemed
F#m
It's never
     Bm
As good as the first time
       F#m
As the first time
(Never as good as the first time)
Bm
First time
             F#m
