1.      First time, first love, oh, what feeling is this,

             F       G                                  C

    electricity flows with the very first kiss.

                  F                                        G

    Like a break in the clouds and the first ray of sun,

               F                                   Dm              G

    I can feel it inside, something new has begun.

                  C              F              D              G

    And it's taking control of my body and mind,

           Am                F                  D

    it began when I heard "I love you",

                 G                   - Am - F - G                           Am     - F - G

    for the very first time,                     for the very first time.

 

   Am        F           G                                      Am

2.     This life, this love, oh, the sweetness I feel,

                F           G                         C

    so mysterious yet, so incredibly real.

                F                                    G

    It's an unchartered sea, it's an unopened door,

                   F                                    Dm         G

    but you gotta reach out, and you gotta explore.

                  C                       F                  D           G

    Even though you're not sure till the moment arrives,

                 Am                 F                   D

    there he is and you know you're in love,

                 G           Am   - F - G                           Am  

    for the very first time,             for the very first time.

 

                           F            Am   - E                          Am         F

    And, baby, when I met you,        every feeling I had was new,

                Dm                                                            E        E7

    I don't think there are words to describe the sensation, no no no no.

 

+  Am - F - G (2x)        +  Am - F - G (4x)   + G7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                F                                    G

    It's an unchartered sea, it's an unopened door,

                   F                                    Dm         G

    but you gotta reach out, and you gotta explore.

                C                      F                    D                  G

    And when something happens that words can't define,

             Am                 F                  D

    only then do you know you're in love

                 G           Am   - F - G                            Am     - F - G

    for the very first time,              for the very first time,

Am - F - G                            Am - A

                  for the very first ti.......me.
