First Time

G - D - C - C 4x A - F#m - B7 - D Im ready to embrace this I am Im ready for repair Ive got so many layers left by amateur painters who covered over what was there I stuffed myself sick on your memory a beautiful mess that we made but Im so tired of being inspired only when things slip away Em - C - D - G Em - C - D - D You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry You told me time would strip it all free but Im no better then when I left here the first time G - D - C - C 2x A - F#m - B7 - D Im ready to erase this I am Im ready to begin spent myself trying to change all of the beauty we made just to want it all back again And with clouds moving in well this hardly looks like the same moon and with the leaves all gone the trees that once stood strong now look pinched and cruel. Em - C - D - G Em - C - D - D You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry You told me time would strip it all free but Im no better then when I left here the first time but Im no better then when I left here the first, first time first time. Em - C - D - G Em - C - D - D You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry You told me time would strip it all free but Im no better then when I left here the first time well Im no better then when I left here the first time, well Im no better then when I left here the first time, time, time, time.
