The First chords by Tegan And Sara

Verse 1:
Am        G
Stand up, sit down baby
Am                G
Gonna be a formal dress down, hey day
Am             G              Am
We decide, why not go downtown
N.C.                            Am    G
How about you and me, we go get wasted?
                 Am    G
Why don't we get wasted?
               Am    G  Am
Hey, let's get wasted


Verse 2:
   Am                     G
By definition from grade school to English 30
   Am              G
We quietly become strong so early
Am         G
Take it or leave it
F            G
They can't believe it
            Am               G
They go from kindergarten to killing sprees
            Am            G
They go from heartache to inner peace
Am                 G
100 foot ceilings, 100 percent deceit
F              G                          Am
He said, let's leave this between you and me
              G                  Am
My cats watch my stuff, leave my house
                G
Between you and me the cat burglars are
Am                G
What did you see? What did you steal?
F             G
Tell me baby, how does it feel?
Am  G          Am  G
    Yeah, yeah feel
       Am              G
It's a top ten list of things that move me the most
  Am              G
A top ten list of things that bother me most
  Am              G
A top ten list of things that scare me the most
F               G
I'd have to say that the future
Am                  G
Wasting time in the fast food line
Am          G
I decide to walk the fine line
    Am              G
And celebrate life, celebrate death
F           G             Am
I choose to celebrate the first
G                Am   G
 I celebrate the first

Chorus:
Am
We decide to go out walking
C
The whole time that we're talking
G
Convinced that we're living
G
Whole time that we're dying
Am
We decide to go out walking
C
Whole time that you're talking
G
Convinced that you're living
G
Whole time that I'm dying
Am             C                   G
Keeps me on my toes, where did the time go?
    Am            C                   G
You keep me on my toes, where did the time go?


Verse 3:
       Am                     G
On the edge of town where the gravel's thin
              Am
They're gonna wear you down
  G                  Am     G      Am    G
Until you're thin and tired, tired, tired
   Am                  G
Of wasting time in the fast food line
Am          G
I decide to walk the fine line
    Am              G
And celebrate life, celebrate death
F           G
I choose to celebrate
    Am                          G
The first to come, the first to go
             Am                    G
The first to say yes, the first to say no
Am  G     F          G
I'm gonna seize this moment
    Am                          G
The first to come, the first to go
             Am                    G     Am  G  F  G
The first to say yes, the first to say no

You keep me on my toes, where did the time go?

You keep me on my toes, where did the time go?
