This variation of A major chord is only used at the very beginning of the 3rd row in each verse, otherwise play
a "normal" A major chord. In the Bm chord variations (and in D/F#) I use my thumb on the E string,
it makes the whole thing much easier.

Intro:  D   GM7   D   GM7

D                     GM7
Time to call another girl in town
D                        GM7
Time to take all of your pictures down
A                     Em                A
It's time to let them know, I'm still around

D                       GM7
Wish I had the words to say it right,
D                            GM7
The show is over, let's just say goodnight
A                               Em
And all the feelings that were locked inside
      A         G       A
Are free



Cause it's the
D     D/F#      G               A          D
First time in a long time, I'm here on my own
        D/F#    G            A         Bm
And I'm finding reasons, to carry on strong
           Bm/A         Bm/G#         Bm/G
There's no easy way to leave it all behind

Cause it's the
D      D/F#     G
First time in a long time
A           D     D/F#    G     A
I'll be allright


D                               G
I might just take a ride on the open sea
D                            G
A million miles from where I used to be
A                 Em            A
With every step I take, I do believe.. oh





D                             G
I see my whole world from the inside out
D                      G
One more reason not to cry out loud
A                         Em             A      G       A
A new beginning and I'll find my way somehow


Now it's the
D      D/F#     G              A           D
First time in a long time, I'm here on my own
        D/F#     G          A          Bm
And I'm finding reasons, to carry on strong
            Bm/A        Bm/G#         Bm/G
There's no easy way to leave it all behind

Cause it's the
D      D/F#     G
First time in a long time
A           D
I'll be allright


C9                    D
I could tell you my story
C9                          D
'bout the hell I've been through, oh yeah
C9
I've been praying for the answers
Em7                         G
And all that really matters
                       A        G       A
Is coming out of the blue




Cause it's the
D      D/F#     G               A          D
First time in a long time, I'm here on my own
        D/F#    G            A         Bm
And I'm finding reasons, to carry on strong
            Bm/A        Bm/G#          Bm/G
There's no easy way to leave it all behind

Cause it's the
D      D/F#     G
First time in a long time
A         D     D/F#      G
It's the, first time in a long time
A         D     D/F#      G
It's the, first time in a long time
A               D       GM7
But I'll be allright,

D                    GM7
Time to call another girl in town...
