The First Time

	  		
 

Intro:  D  G (2x) 

VERSE 1: 
               D     G 
Can you believe it? 
             D                G  
It's been almost ten years now 
                     D       G 
And I'm getting that feeling 
          A 
As we're driving 'round this town 
                   D           G 
Passing by the old school yard 
         D                    G 
Everything just looks so small 
                         D       G 
Before the drums and the guitars 
          A 
Way back when we knew it all 
            Em  
And she's sitting right next to me her hand in the wind 
          G  
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in 
             D 
Yeah it's crazy 
                 A 
Crazy but it's true 



           G           D                   A 
That you never get a second chance at the first time 
G              D          A 
We will never be eighteen again 
        G            D                   A  
No you never get a second chance at the first time  
G               D                 A 
It's so good to see you my old friend 
A                         G 
It's good to see you again  



(Same chords through verse and chorus)

VERSE 2: 

Can you believe it?  
How much everything has changed? 
Well they shut down the old diner 
And they put in some new chain 
You know it''s so good to see you 
Ma, your hair had got so long 
It feels like it's been forever 
Used to sing you that old song 
With you sitting right next to me your hand in the wind 
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in 
Yeah, it's crazy 
Crazy cause it's true 


           G           D                   A 
That you never get a second chance at the first time 
G              D          A 
We will never be eighteen again 
        G            D                   A  
No you never get a second chance at the first time  
G               D                 A 
It's so good to see you my old friend 
A                         G 
It's good to see you again  

 

          Em                                G 
Well you know they say that growing up is hard 
                  D                            A 
It's so hard to think of how we almost got so far 
         Em                                G 
Do you remember on the night of our first kiss? 
              D                             A 
Baby didn?t it feel just a little bit like this? 
           Em (strum once) 
With you sitting right next to me your hand in the wind 
         G (strum once) 
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in 
          D (strum once) 
Yeah it's crazy 
                     A 
Crazy cause it's true 


           G           D                   A 
That you never get a second chance at the first time 
G              D          A 
We will never be eighteen again 
        G            D                   A  
No you never get a second chance at the first time  
G               D                 A 
It's so good to see you my old friend 
A                         G 
It's good to see you again
