Kelsea Ballerini - The First Time Chords

capo on 3

intro: Fmaj7  C  Cmaj9

            Fmaj7
I put on my make up
C     
Spray my perfume 
           Cmaj9
Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you 
              Fmaj7      C                 Cmaj9
Said we would catch up because it had been awhile
          Fmaj7
I hate to admit it
                 C
But my hands are shaking
Cmaj9
Barely breathin', Heart is racin'
           Fmaj7    C                         Cmaj9                              
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds
Fmaj7                 C
But you never called, never showed up
                       Cmaj9
Guess somethings never change
Fmaj7                     C          Cmaj9
And just like living in a flashback..you let me down again

CHORUS:
Fmaj7                         C
That's why the past should be the past
Cmaj9
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
Fmaj7                     C
Let the memories burn and crash
Cmaj9
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
        Fmaj7           C
Is just tearin my heart back in half
     Cmaj9
Like nothings changed except the time that's passed
Fmaj7                   C                  Cmaj9 (let ring)
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
(no chord)
The first time


   Fmaj7 C Cmaj9


              Fmaj7
I should know better
       C
I hate that I still cry
        Cmaj9
Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights
    Fmaj7          C                           Cmaj9
And kickin' myself for believin' in you again
               Fmaj7           C        
I bet your out drinkin' with a new blonde and
Cmaj9
Telling her whatevers playin is her song
     Fmaj7              C                  Cmaj9      
Yeah and helping her up into your Chevy instead

Fmaj7     C
Even when you don't have me
Cmaj9
You can still be the one to hurt me
Fmaj7             C
It must feel good to know
               Cmaj9
That I'm still holdin' on to letting go

CHORUS:
Fmaj7                         C
That's why the past should be the past
Cmaj9
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
Fmaj7                     C
Let the memories burn and crash
Cmaj9
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
        Fmaj7           C
Is just tearin my heart back in half
     Cmaj9
Like nothings changed except the time that's passed
Fmaj7                   C                  Cmaj9 (let ring)
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
(no chord)
The first time


   Fmaj7 C Cmaj9 (2x)

                    Fmaj7              C
Yeah that's why the past should be the past
Cmaj9
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
Fmaj7                     C
Let the memories burn and crash
Cmaj9
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
        Fmaj7           C
Is just tearin my heart back in half
     Cmaj9
Like nothings changed except the time that's passed
Fmaj7                   C                    Cmaj9
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
Fmaj7                       C                       Cmaj9 (let ring)
So noow I'm letting you go, just like I should have tried
(no chord)
The first time
