For The First Time In A Long Time

D
I been livin' like a drunken sailor

Playin' in a rock 'n roll band
A                       G                     D
Far from a failure, I feel like a brand new man
D
Smoking like a fiend and schemin'

Dealin' with the upper hand
A                          G                    D
It's been so long since I felt this good, God damn
G            D
I'm finally standin' tall
G       D
I feel I just can't fall
G           D                       A
Your love takes me to a higher place
G                         D
For the first time, in a long time
G                    D
I'm done payin' my dues
G                         D
For the first time, in a long time
A
I don't feel used
C          G        D
Ohhhhhhh Ohhhh, Ohhhhhhhhh

Let's go out honky tonkin'
Dancing till the morning light
The time is now and this time I feel all right

I'm finally standin' tall
I feel I just can't fall
Your love takes me to a higher place

For the first time, in a long time
I don't stand accused
For the first time, in a long time
I feel brand new
Life's been kind, water tastes like wine
I feel so high like I'm on cloud nine
For the first time, in a long time
