The Script - For The First Time Lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
[A] She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
[G#] While I'm [F#m] drinking Jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how we got into [A] this mad situation
Only doing things out of [D] frustration
Trying to make her work, but man, these times are hard
She [A] needs me now, but I can't seem to find the time
I got [F#m] a new job now on the unemployment line
And we don't know how we got into this mess
Is it God's [A] test?
Someone help us cause we're doing [D] our best
Trying to make her work, but man, these times are hard
[F#m] But we're gonna stop by drinking old cheap bottles of [D]
wine
Shit talking up all [A] night
Saying things we haven't [E] for a while, [F#m] a while, yeah
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 meeting
[E] For the [A] first time
She's
[D]
[A] in line at the door with her head held high
But [F#m] I just lost my job, I didn't lose my fly
And we both know how
How [A] we're gonna make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up, you get kicked to [D] the curb
Trying to make her work, but man, these times are hard
[A] But we're gonna [F#m] stop by drinking old cheap bottles of [D]
wine
Shit talking [A] up all night
Doing things we haven't for a while, a while, [F#m] yeah
We're smiling, but we're close [D] to tears
Even after all these [A] years
We just now got the feeling that we're [E] meeting
For [A] the first time
Drinking
[D]
[F#m] old cheap bottles [D] of wine
Shit talking up all [A] night
Saying things we haven't [E] for a while
[F#m] We're smiling, but [A] we're close [D] to tears
Even after all these [A] years
We just now got the feeling that we're [E] meeting
For [A] the first time
Yeah, for the first time
[E]
For the [A] first time
Yeah
[D] Just now got the feeling that [A] we're meeting
For the first time
All these times are hard
Yeah, they're making [E] us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
[F#m] All [A] these times are hard
Yeah, they're making [D] us crazy
Don't give up on me, [A] baby
All these times are hard
Yeah, they're making us [E] crazy
Don't give up on me baby
[F#m] All these times in our heads are making us crazy
Don't [D] give up on me [A] baby
[Cm] [A#] Dreams are planets in a row
Suggesting [C] it's best that I [Cm] slow down
[F] This
