The First Time Chords & Lyrics - Kelsea Ballerini

Capo 1

I put on my m[G]ake up
Spray my p[D]erfume
Sat on the f[A]ront porch, waitin' [Bm]on you
Said we would c[G]atch up because it had b[D]een a whi[A]le
I hate to a[G]dmit it
But my hands are s[D]haking
Barely bre[A]athin'
Heart is r[Bm]acin'
Looks like fe[G]elings don't always c[D]hange their mi[A]nds

But y[G]ou never called, never sh[D]owed up
Guess s[A]omethings never ch[Bm]ange
And j[G]ust like living in a f[D]lashback, you [A]let me down again

That's why the p[G]ast should be the p[D]ast
F[A]ar behind, back of mind, [Bm]out of the way
Let the m[G]emories burn and cr[D]ash
Cause si[A]ttin' here looking at the dr[Bm]iveway
Is just te[G]arin' my heart b[D]ack in half
Like n[A]othing's changed except the t[Bm]ime that's passed
And t[G]hat's why good-bye should m[D]ean good-b[A]ye
The first t[Bm]ime

I should know [G]better
I hate that I s[D]till cry
Lookin' like a f[A]ool here watchin' for h[Bm]eadlights
And k[G]ickin' myself for be[D]lievin' in you aga[A]in
I bet you're out d[G]rinkin' with a [D]new blonde and
Telling h[A]er whatever's playin' i[Bm]s her song
Yeah and he[G]lping her up i[D]nto your Chevy ins[A]tead

E[G]ven when you don't h[D]ave me
You can st[A]ill be the one to h[Bm]urt me
It m[G]ust feel good to k[D]now
That I'm still h[A]oldin' on to letting go

That's why the p[G]ast should be the p[D]ast
F[A]ar behind, back of mind, [Bm]out of the way
Let the m[G]emories burn and cr[D]ash
Cause si[A]ttin' here looking at the dr[Bm]iveway
Is just te[G]arin' my heart b[D]ack in half
Like n[A]othing's changed except the t[Bm]ime that's passed
And t[G]hat's why good-bye should m[D]ean good-b[A]ye
The first t[Bm]ime

That's why the p[G]ast should be the p[D]ast
F[A]ar behind, back of mind, [Bm]out of the way
Let the m[G]emories burn and cr[D]ash
Cause si[A]ttin' here looking at the dr[Bm]iveway
Is just te[G]arin' my heart b[D]ack in half
Like n[A]othing's changed except the t[Bm]ime that's passed
And t[G]hat's why good-bye should m[D]ean good-b[A]ye
So I'm le[G]tting you go, just l[D]ike I should have tr[A]ied
The first [Bm]time
