First Time I Lost You

D D G G D D G G - A Bm Bm A A G G D D They say all of the things that we must endure G Make us grow stronger and more self-assured D But the hurt and the pain it never grows old G Each heartache we heal takes a piece of our soul Bm A G D I'm a fool, I'm a goddamn fool, oh I am a fool, baby for you D The first time I lost you I lost myself G In the pages of books laying there on my shelf D I lost you in Paris and I lost you in Rome G And I lost you again when we got home Bm A G D I'm a fool, I'm a goddamn fool, oh I am a fool, baby for you G G D D G G - A Bm Bm A A G G D D Now tell me again why you hide from the world G Like the rarest of gems, like a natural pearl D The love that you give can't handle the light G It blooms in the dark like a queen of the night Bm A G D You're a fool, you're a goddamn fool, oh you are a fool, just like me D Now I'm running through these streets in the cold autumn rain G Like a drunk lovesick fool I keep chanting your name D But the words that you hear, you’ve heard them before G This time you tell yourself they must mean more Bm A G D You're a fool, you're a goddamn fool, oh you are a fool, just like me G And I know that you know, that I know it ain't true D As you stand there so calmly just preaching your truth Bm And I wish that I knew what It was that we felt A Was it love, was it lust, was it something else? G D I'm a fool, baby for you G D I'm a fool, baby for you G D Always a fool, always for you
