Intro: GAmCD (repeat)
G
There’s something sacred when your 17
Em
‘Bout a football jacket and a high school ring
CD
And it sure looked nice when you wore mine
G
That late October at the homecoming dance
Em
We slipped outside and we took a chance
CD
In the middle of the night it sure felt right
AmBD
We let go right then and there
AmBF
We were loved and we were scared
(Chorus:)
GAm
For the first time
CD
Lovin’ blind we dove right in
GAm
For the first time
CD
We gave everything and then
EmDC
Graduation came
EmDC
And our dreams called our names
AmBD
With broken hearts we moved on with our lives
GAmCDGAmCD
For the first ti----------me
Well I heard the other day
You’re a Sunday school teacher
Got the PTA, got a real good life
You’re a real good wife
I’m living in this circus world
No I ain’t married but I got a girl
And I’m her man and we’re making plans
But I still smile when I think of us
Together we learned how to love
For the first time
Lovin’ blind we dove right in
For the first
We gave everything and then
Graduation came
And our dreams called our names
With broken hearts we moved on with our lives
For the first time
Solo: GAmCD (repeat)
Graduation came
And our dreams called our names
With broken hearts we moved on with our lives
For the first time
For the first time
Lovin’ blind we dove right in
For the first time
We gave everything and then
For the first time
We moved on with our lives
For the first time
