For The First Time In A Long Time

[D]I been livin' like a drunken sailor

Playin' in a rock 'n roll band
[A]Far from a failure, I fe[G]el like a brand new ma[D]n
[D]Smoking like a fiend and schemin'

Dealin' with the upper hand
[A]It's been so long since I f[G]elt this good, God da[D]mn
[G]I'm finally s[D]tandin' tall
[G]I feel I[D] just can't fall
[G]Your love ta[D]kes me to a higher place[A]
[G]For the first time, in a l[D]ong time
[G]I'm done payin' my du[D]es
[G]For the first time, in a l[D]ong time
[A]I don't feel used
[C]Ohhhhhhh Oh[G]hhh, Ohhh[D]hhhhhh

Let's go out honky tonkin'
Dancing till the morning light
The time is now and this time I feel all right

I'm finally standin' tall
I feel I just can't fall
Your love takes me to a higher place

For the first time, in a long time
I don't stand accused
For the first time, in a long time
I feel brand new
Life's been kind, water tastes like wine
I feel so high like I'm on cloud nine
For the first time, in a long time
