Standard Tuning
This one was a little tricky because the Am7 and C sound very similar. Iâve
listened through a bunch of times and think/hope I got it right.

(verse 1)
Last time I saw you I was fueling up
At our old favorite coffee shop
Then you walked up
I tried to hide behind my cup
When you said, how you ve been doing
I gave you the typical line
I ve been fine
But I was lying, and dying, yeah
I was a kid in love
You rocked me then and it still does cause
(chorus)
Ain t nothin like the first time
Nothin like the first smile
Looking at you seeing forever
Keeps me going till the last mile
And I held on like crazy
Until our goodbye baby
And I still miss you lately
Ain t nothin like the first time
(ring)
Nothin like the first time, yeah
(overlay riff)
(x2)
I remember you stole my breath
Underneath the stadium steps
Now I m walking round the block
Ten years later knock knock knock
Knocking on these memories
Flooding back of you and me
When love was free
We were shining, flying
Yeah, I didn t understand
I had you right there in my hands
(chorus)
Ain t nothin like the first time
Nothin like the first smile
Looking at you seeing forever
Keeps me going till the last mile
And I held on like crazy
Until our goodbye baby
And I still miss you lately
Ain t nothin like the first time
(bridge)
First time
Never get it back again
But I still remember when
First time
First time
There s a magic in the way
(ring)
You will always stay
Oh oh oh
(chorus)
Ain t nothin like the first time
Nothin like the first smile
Looking at you seeing forever
Keeps me going till the last mile
And I held on like crazy
Until our goodbye baby
And I still miss you lately
(outro)
Oooooooooooh
(Nothinâ like the first time)
There s a magic in the way
You will always stay
There s a magic in the way
(ring)
You will always stay
