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...
