For the First Time (Acoustic) chords
Start Jamming...
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart [G#] While I'm drinking [F#m] Jack all alone in my local
bar And we don't know how, how we got into this
mad situation Only doing things out of [D] frustration
Trying to make it work, but man, these times are hard
She [A] needs me now, but I can't seem to find the time
[G#] I got a new job [F#m] now on the unemployment line And we don't know how, how we got into this
mess It's a God's test, someone help us cause we're
doing our [D] best Trying to make it work, but man, these times
are hard But we're gonna [F#m] start by drinking on cheap
bottles of [A] wine Shit talking up all night
Doing things we haven't for [F#] a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling, but we're close to [D] tears Even after [A] all these years
Just now got the feeling [E] that we're meeting for the [A] first time
[F#m]
[A]
She's in line at the door with her head held high
[B] Well, I just lost my job, but didn't [F#m] lose my pride
And we both know how, how we're gonna make it work
When it [A] hurts, you pick yourself up, you get kicked to the [D] dirt
Trying to make it work, but [A] man, these times are [B] hard
But we're gonna start [F#m] by drinking on cheap bottles of [D] wine
Shit talking up all [A] night Doing things we haven't for [G#m] a while, [F#] a while, yeah
[F#m] We're smiling, but we're close to [D] tears Even after all these [A] years
Just now got the feeling [E] that we're meeting [A] for the first time
[F#m]
[D]
[F#m] Drinking on cheap bottles of [A] wine Shit talking up all night
Doing things we haven't [G#] for a while, [G#m] a while, yeah
[F#m] We're smiling, but we're close to [D] tears Even after all these [A] years
We just now got the feeling that we're [E] meeting for the [A] first time
For the first time
For [F#m]
the first [A] time
Yeah
For the [D] first time
[A]
All these times are hard
Yeah, but we do [F#] the swaggy thing and give up on you, baby
[F#m] All these times are hard
Yeah, but we do [D] the swaggy thing and give up on you, baby
[A] All these times are hard
Yeah, but we do [E] the swaggy thing and give up on you, baby
