Verse 1:
F#m
Good times they come and they go
F#m
Never going to know
Bm
What fate is going to blow
Bm
Your way just hope that it feels right
F#m
Sometimes it comes and it goes
F#m
You take it ever so slow
Bm
And then you lose it,
Bm
and then it flows right to you
F#m
So we rely on the past
F#m
And special moments that last
Bm
Were they as tender
Bm
As we dare to remember
F#m
Such a fine time as this
F#m
What could equal the bliss
Bm
The thrill of the first kiss
Bm
It'll blow right to you
Chorus:
F#mBm
It's never... as good as the first time...
F#mBm
It's never... as good as the first time...
(Never as good as the first time)
Verse 2:
F#m
Good times they come and they go
F#m
Never going to know
Bm
It's like the weather, one day
Bm
chicken next day feathers
F#m
The rose we remember
F#m
The thorns we forget
Bm
We'd love and leave
Bm
We never spend a minute on regret
F#m
It is a possibility
F#m
The more we know the less we see
Bm
Second time
Bm
is not quite what it seemed
F#m
Natural as the way
F#m
We came to be
Bm
The second time
Bm
won't live up to the dream

It's never as good as the first time

Never as good as the first time
(never as good as the first time)
