  I don't believe in first impressions

  I ain't got time for true confessions

Bb/C                 C
  Gotta to make the move right now

 Get it right the first time

 I can't afford to let it pass

Am7                    Ab7
 You get it right the next time

                Gm7                  C7sus4

  I'm not much good at conversation

Bb/F                       F
  I never was much good at comin' on real strong

F                             C7sus4/F
  But if all it takes is inspiration

       Bb/C              C
  Then I might have just what it takes

     Bb/C            C       Bb
  If I don't make no bad mistakes and I

 I can't afford to let it pass

      Gm7                                Bb                  C

[Outro] F C7sus4/F Bb/F F F C7sus4/F Bb/F F ~~~~~~~ Can't believe no one has done this... Nevertheless, this is a piano played song so some chords are hard to play/don't sound great for guitar. Maybe use a capo on first fret and work your way around chords from there? Anyway, that's all. P.S. I just tried the capo thing and it works sick.
