Cold War Kids – First (Guitar)

            G               D
Cheated and lied, broken so bad

           A              A
You made a vow, never get mad

             G                 D
You play the game, though it's unfair

                A                A
They're all the same, who can compare?

G                     D                     A   A
First you lose trust, then you get worried

            G                D
Night after night, bar after club

             A                    A
Dropping like flies, who woke you up

             G                       D
On the front lawn, sprinklers turned on

              A                     A
It's not your house, where'd you go wrong?

G                   D                   A   A
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry

              G                          D
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

           A                         A
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

             G                      D
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve

                  A                         A
To wait around forever when, you were there first

G                   D                   A  A
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry

              G                D
There comes a time, in a short life

         A              A
Turn it around, get a rewrite

          G                  D
Call it a dark, night of the soul

           A                 A
Ticking of clocks, gravity’s pull

G                    D                     A  A
First you get close, then you get worried

              G                          D
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

           A                         A
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

             G                      D
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve

                  A                         A
To wait around forever when, you were there first

G                   D                   A   A
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry

G                   D
You're going silent,  the silent treatment

A                     A
It's not inviting now,  don't deny what you meant

G               D
You get excited, you get excited

A                      A
You got a feel it, oh, at least you can pretend

G                  D
You wanna light it, you wanna light it

A                       A 
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends

G               D                A  A 
You get excited, you get excited

              G                          D
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

           A                         A
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

             G                      D
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve

                  A                         A
To wait around forever when, you were there first

              G                          D
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

           A                         A
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

             G                      D
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve

                  A                         A
To wait around forever when, you were there first

G                   D                     A  A
First you get close, then you get worried           (x4)

G                  D
You wanna light it, you wanna light it

A                      A
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends

G                  D
You wanna light it, you wanna light it

G                      D                         A 
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
