     D 
I was not the first to love her 
      A                Bm 
And I will not be the last 
        D 
She was slippin' through my fingers 
          A 
Just like water through my grasp 
        G                 D 
I can't say that I won't miss her 
       A           G 
But I swear I understand 
       D 
I was not the first to love her 
       A       G        D 
And I will not be the last 

Verse 
             D 
My train of thought 
             D 
It left the station 
             D 
Without a clear destination 
             A 
So when it came 
          G 
Off the track 
           D 
I was not surprised 

              A                G 
I'm always a sucker for a bad deal... 
               D 
And some green eyes 
 
      D 
I was not the first to love her 
      A                Bm 
And I will not be the last 
        D 
She was slippin' through my fingers 
          A 
Just like water through my grasp 
        G                 D 
I can't say that I won't miss her 
       A           G 
But I swear I understand 
       D 
I was not the first to love her 
       A       G        D 
And I will not be the last 

Verse 
            D 
Colors her hair 
            D 
And paints her face 
            D                            D 
I traced the line of her hip As she was walkin' away 
           A 
All those late nights 
         G 
Become mornings 
                  D 
If you do not say goodbye 

            A                G 
I'm always a sucker for a bad deal... 
               D 
And some green eyes 

      D 
I was not the first to love her 
      A                Bm 
And I will not be the last 
        D 
She was slippin' through my fingers 
          A 
Just like water through my grasp 
        G                 D 
I can't say that I won't miss her 
       A           G 
But I swear I understand 
       D 
I was not the first to love her 
       A       G        D 
And I will not be the last 

Bridge 
D               D 
Woohoowoah woah woahooah 
D               D 
Woohoowoah woah woahooah 
D               D 
Woohoowoah woah woahooah 
D               D 
Woohoowoah woah woahooah 

Verse 
             D 
I'm not too young 
             D 
But I'm not too old yet 
             D 
I never learned, But I never forget 
             A 
I ain't got much 
             G 
But I've got enough 
                  D 
So I don't really mind 
            A                G 
I'm always a sucker for a bad deal... 
               D 
And some green eyes 

      D 
I was not the first to love her 
      A                Bm 
And I will not be the last 
        D 
She was slippin' through my fingers 
          A 
Just like water through my grasp 
        G                 D 
I can't say that I won't miss her 
       A           G 
But I swear I understand 
       D 
I was not the first to love her 
       A             G 
And I will not be the last
