Verse :
              G                                     C
You were the first girl I ever let try to drive my truck
                                         F
First fall I didn't care at all about a buck

'Cause I was spending all my time trying

Just to get you to be mine

              G
You were the first girl to make this boy wanna settle down
 C
First time in my life I ever thought about
 F
Getting outta the fast lane

And putting someone's first with my last name

And I


Pre-Chorus:
 C
Made a promise to your daddy
     F
I'd always put you first
             C
But there's just one time I really hope that I
       F
Don't have to keep my word

And these tires run outta road

               G
There's gonna come a day, not soon I pray
      C
That one of us has gotta go
           Fmaj7
And girl without you here with me
                 F
It'd be hell on earth (be hell on earth)

      F                    G
So I hope heaven takes me first

I'd be the first smile to greet you right there at the Gate
                                      F
First one to show you all around the place

Hope it don't sound selfish

       Fmaj7
That I wanna beat you there

'Cause if you went first
                       F
I couldn't handle the hurt

I swear
