Chords for Kelsea Ballerini - The First Time (Official Lyric Video)

[Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
I [Abm] put on my makeup, [Eb] sprayed my perfume, sat [Bb] on the front porch, [Cm] waiting on you, said [Ab] we
would catch up, [Eb] does it have been a while? _
I hate [Ab] to admit it, but [Eb] my hands are shaking, [Bb] barely breathing, [Cm] heart is [Fm] racing, [Ab] looks like
feelings [Eb] won't always change their [Bb] mind. _ _
[Eb] [Ab] But you never [Eb] called, never showed up, guess some things [Cm] never change, [Ab] and just like [Eb] living
in a [Bb] flashback, you let me [Fm] down again.
And [Eb] that's why the past should be the past, [Gm] far behind, [Cm] back of mind, out of the way,
[Ab] let the memories [Eb] burn and crash, cause sitting here looking at the driveway, [Ab] it's just a
tearing my [Eb] heart back in half, like nothing's [Cm] changed except the time that's [Ab] passed.
And that's why goodbye [Eb] shouldn't mean goodbye, _ the first time.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Ab] I should know better, I [Eb] hate that I still cry, [Bb] looking like a fool here [Cm] watching for
headlights [Eb] and kicking myself for believing in you.
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ [Bb]
I [Eb] bet you're out drinking with the new blonde, [Bb] and telling her whatever's [Cm] playing is her
[Ab] song, and [Eb] helping her up, handing you a [Bb] Chevy [Eb] instead.
[Bb] _
_ [Eb] Even when you don't have me, [Bb] you can [Cm] still be the one to hurt me, [Eb] it must feel good to
know that [Bb] I'm still holding on to letting go.
And [Ab] that's why the [Eb] past should be the past, far behind, [Cm] back of mind, out of the [Ab] way,
let the [Eb] memories burn and crash, [Bb] cause sitting here looking at the [Gm] driveway, [Ab] it's just a
tearing my [Eb] heart back in [Bb] half, like nothing's [Cm] changed except the time that's [Ab] passed.
And that's why [Eb] goodbye shouldn't mean goodbye, [Bb] _
the [Ab] first time.
[Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
Yeah, [Eb] that's why the past should be the past, [Bb] far behind, [Cm] back of mind, out of the [Ab] way, let
the memories [Eb] burn and crash, cause [Bb] sitting here looking at the driveway, [Ab] it's just [Eb] a
tearing my heart back in half, like nothing's [Cm] changed except the time that's [Eb] passed.
And that's why goodbye shouldn't mean goodbye, [Bb] so [Eb] now I'm letting you go, like I [Bb] should've
[Eb] tried, [Bb] the [Ab] first time.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] Oh, the [Ab] first time, [Eb] _ oh [Bb] yeah. _
[Cm] Yeah, that's why the [Ab] past should [Eb] be the past, [Bb] oh, [Cm]
the [Ab] first [Eb] time.
Let the [Bb] memories burn.
