First Time Chords

Half step down

Intro

 [G - D - C - C] x4

Verse

 [A - F♯m - B7 - D]

Im ready to embrace this I am

Im ready for repair

Ive got so many layers left by amateur painters who covered over what was there

I stuffed myself sick on your memory

a beautiful mess that we made

but Im so tired of being inspired only when things slip away

Chorus

 [Em - C - D - G

  Em - C - D - D]

You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry

You told me time would strip it all free

but Im no better then when I left here the first time

Intro

 [G - D - C - C] x2

Verse

 [A - F♯m - B7 - D]

Im ready to erase this I am

Im ready to begin

spent myself trying to change all of the beauty we made

just to want it all back again

And with clouds moving in

well this hardly looks like the same moon

and with the leaves all gone the trees that once stood strong

now look pinched and cruel.

Chorus

 [Em - C - D - G

  Em - C - D - D]

You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry

You told me time would strip it all free

but Im no better then when I left here the first time

but Im no better then when I left here the first,

first time

first time.

Chorus

 [Em - C - D - G

  Em - C - D - D]

You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry

You told me time would strip it all free

but Im no better then when I left here the first time

well Im no better then when I left here the first time,

well Im no better then when I left here the first time,

time, time, time.
