Intro:

G D C
G D


Verse 1:
 G     C     Em   D
I thought my heart, had felt it all
 G        C
I swam for miles across the ocean
Em      D
Never met the shore
  G     C
My eyes were closed
  Em     D
My highs were lows
   G        C
Just gettin' drunk on pills and potions
Em        D
Cravin' something more

Pre-Chorus:
C
Traveled the world but it got me nowhere
D
Nothing could ever compare


Chorus:
 G
A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
      D
And all the drugs I've done, they never got me higher
     C
Than the first time we met
             G       D
There's nothing like the first time we met
 G
I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin'
   D/F#
And I talked to God, He couldn't get me higher
     C
Than the first time we met
             G
There's nothing like the first time
  D       G
The first time we met


Verse 2:
   G     C   Em
That night, the stars aligned
    D     G
Heaven dropped a line
       C            Em
Before you I was just a flare in the sky
      D             G
A kid too afraid to go to play in the light
      C           Em
A colorless painter, a man with no sight
         D
Before you I was nothin'

Was nothin', had nothin'

I only had


Chorus:
 G
A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
      D
And all the drugs I've done, they never got me higher
     C
Than the first time we met
             G       D
There's nothing like the first time we met
 G
I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin'
   D/F#
And I talked to God, He couldn't get me higher
     C
Than the first time we met
             G
There's nothing like the first time
  D
The first time we met


Bridge:
Am G C
D
 You set the room on fire

You take the angels higher
C
 I heard a thousand choirs
                 D
Oh, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet
                  C
Traveled the world but it got me nowhere

Nothing could ever compare


Chorus:
 G
A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
      D
And all the drugs I've done, they never got me higher
     C
Than the first time we met
             G       D
There's nothing like the first time we met
 G
I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin'
   D/F#
And I talked to God, He couldn't get me higher
     C
Than the first time we met
             G
There's nothing like the first time
  D       G
The first time we met


Outro:
         D
The first time we met
         C
The first time we met
             G
There's nothing like the first time
  D       N.C.
The first time we met
