Cold War Kids – First (Ukulele)

             G               D
 Cheated and lied, broken so bad

            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
 First you lose trust, then you get worried

             G                D
 Night after night, bar after club

              A
 Dropping like flies, who woke you up

              G                       D
 On the front lawn, sprinklers turned on

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

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

               G                          D
 Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

            A
 Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

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

                   A
 To wait around forever when, you were there first

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

               G                D
 There comes a time, in a short life

          A
 Turn it around, get a rewrite

           G                  D
 Call it a dark, night of the soul

            A
 Ticking of clocks, gravity’s pull

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

               G                          D
 Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

            A
 Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

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

                   A
 To wait around forever when, you were there first

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

G                     D
 You're going silent,  the silent treatment

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

G                D
 You get excited, you get excited

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

G                   D
 You wanna light it, you wanna light it

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

G                D                  A 
 You get excited, you get excited

               G                          D
 Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

            A
 Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

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

                   A
