D - A - Em - G (2x)
BmD
Lately I've been losin' sleep
GD
Stayin' up with your memory
BmDA
All my friends say, "Hey, we're a little concerned"
BmD
But I got my wine and I got my smoke
GD
And every letter you ever wrote
BmAG
Tonight I'll light one up, let it burn
Chorus:
DAEm
Cause I feel all right for the first time
G
In a long time
DAEm
And I see the light now that I'm walkin'
G
In the sunshine
DAEm
I was singin' my song and it goes
G
Shan na na na na na na
DAEm
I feel all right for the first time
G
In a long time
This morning I took a look outside
And all the people passin' by
Nobody noticed you were gone
Put on my shoes, a different man
Went to the docks where my ship came in
I watched that tide rollin' on and on
And on and on and on
ChorusInstrumentalBmDGBmAGDA
It took a while for me to see
BmG
What everybody knew but me
DAG
And I don't care where you are tonight
ChorusDAEmG
I feel all right shan na na na na na na
DAEmG
I see the light shan na na na na na na
DAEm
For the first time in a long time
G
Shan na na na na na na
DAEm
For the first time in a long time
