The First Time

[D]   [G]

Can you believe[D] it?  [G]
It's been alm[D]ost ten years now[G]
And I'm getting that [D]feeling [G]
As we're d[A]riving 'round this town
Passing by the old [D]school yard [G]
Everythin[D]g just looks so small[G]
Before the drums and the [D]guitars [G]
Way back w[A]hen we knew it all
And she's si[Em]tting right next to me her hand in the wind
In that ol[G]d white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah it's cra[D]zy
Crazy but it's tr[A]ue

That you ne[G]ver get a se[D]cond chance at the f[A]irst time
[G]We will never b[D]e eighteen [A]again
No you n[G]ever get a se[D]cond chance at the f[A]irst time
[G]It's so good to [D]see you my old fri[A]end
[A]It's good to see you again[G]

*****Same chords through verse and chorus*****

Can you believe it?
How much everything has changed?
Well they shut down the old diner
And they put in some new chain
You know it''s so good to see you
Ma, your hair had got so long
It feels like it's been forever
Used to sing you that old song
With you sitting right next to me your hand in the wind
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah, it's crazy
Crazy cause it's true

That you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time
It's so good to see you my old friend
It's good to see you again

Well you k[Em]now they say that growing up is ha[G]rd
It's so hard to th[D]ink of how we almost got so f[A]ar
Do you re[Em]member on the night of our first k[G]iss?
Baby didn’t it[D] feel just a little bit like t[A]his?
With you si[Em]tting right next to me your hand in the wind
In that o[G]ld white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah it's [D]crazy
Crazy cause it's true[A]

No you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time
It's so good to see you my old friend
It's good to see you again
