Am Am7 Em7 Am Am7 Em7
Remember the first time we got high
Am Am7 Em7 Am Am7 Em7
We felt like the rabid lion's roar

Healed in the blinking of an eye
Am Am7 Em7 Am Am7 Em7
And then when the dawn cracked over us
Am Am7 Em7 Am Am7 Em7
The day wouldn't hit us hard at all
Am Am7 Em7 Am Am7 Em7
We could ride the morning into night again

We knew the days were there to waste
Chorus

But these days
F Em
That light hit so heavy

And those days
F Em
Feel like another life
Am G
This isn't like the first time anymore
Em F
And I've been chasing after all
Am G
Digging for the lost memories
Em F
Of our youth written in fire
Am G
You always said it's not too late for me
Em F
I sure am listening to you now
Am G
Leaving me so I can trust myself
Em F
'Cause there's a first time for that too
