First Love chords by Slowly Slowly

Chords with lyrics

🎸 Verse 1:
BB
First loves don't leave you, the needles & pins

My phantom limb likes to cry full of gin
    G+G             G minorGm
She's a molten mistake, lightning blue at the wake
     G+G
She just hangs tight
    Cm7Cm7
And I meant what I said at the foothills
     BMaj7Bmaj7
Won't you walk me, talk with me, give me tonight
     Cm7Cm7
Ancient ruins bullied by sky scraper lights
 BMaj7Bmaj7
Hungry & homeless I creep into the glow of it's

G+G
Lonely, dying flame,

🎸 Chorus:
     C majorC
I think I want to
    C majorC       G+G
Be the memory that you turn to
      F minorFm       G+G      C majorC
When you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
      C majorC          G+G
But at the same time I want to forget you
    F minorFm     G+G
Take a gun to the mantle
   C majorC         C majorC
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
   G+G              F minorFm     G+G
I'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
C majorC      C majorC             G+G
Tamed into numbness, it's what I have become since
  F minorFm     G+G    C majorC
The person you recognise


Verse 2 - yours truly:
BMaj7Bmaj7
First loves conditioned like poisonous fate

With optimism we just contradict
    G+G          G minorGm
Was I just your mistake, cinnamon to the taste
     G+G
Bitter but graceful
      Cm7Cm7
You know I meant what I said in the moment
       BMaj7Bmaj7
But now I'm pendulum sentiments, swaying while I cry
Cm7Cm7
Destined for abattoirs, lovers only live
 BMaj7Bmaj7
A augmentedA penny for your thoughts, I would kill for a kiss

G+G
Lonely, dying flame,

🎸 Chorus 2:
      C majorC
 I think I want to
    C majorC        G+G
Be the memory that you turn to
      F minorFm       G+G      C majorC
When you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
      C majorC          G+G
But at the same time I want to forget you
    F minorFm     G+G
Take a gun to the mantle
   C majorC         C majorC
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
   G+G              F minorFm     G+G
I'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
C majorC      C majorC          G+G
Tamed into numbness, it's what I have become since
  F minorFm     G+G    C majorC
The person you recognise


Verse 3 - both:
BB
First loves are lethal, dilute all you like

Reticent discontent laboured in stride
     C minorCm           G minorGm           G+G
Hear the acid rain dripping down the water pipes to the ocean floor
   Cm7Cm7
And I meant what I said you're an angel
     BMaj7Bmaj7
You were sent to me, carefully right at the time
    Cm7Cm7
That I needed a petal to throw into the fire
     BMaj7Bmaj7
Something pretty and impermanent that I could admire

G+G
Lonely, dying flame,


🎸 Chorus 3:
     C majorC
I think I want to
    C majorC        G+G
Be the memory that you turn to
      F minorFm       G+G      C majorC
When you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
      C majorC          G+G
But at the same time I want to forget you
    F minorFm     G+G
Take a gun to the mantle
  C majorC         C majorC
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
   G+G              F minorFm     G+G
I'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
C majorC     C majorC             G+G
Tamed into numbness, it's what I have become since

The person you recognise
C majorC
