F           Cmaj7 
So little to say 
 
But so much time 
   Em 
Despite my empty mouth 
                 Am 
The words are in my mind 
      F 
Please wear the face 
                  Cmaj7 
The one where you smile 
 
Because you 
        Em 
Lighten up my heart 
                Am 
When I start to cry 
 
           F 
Forgive me first love 
       Cmaj7 
But I'm tired 
          Em 
I need to get away 
        Am 
To feel again 
                  F 
Try to understand why 
            Cmaj7 
Don't get so close 
 
To change my mind 
                 Em 
Please wipe that look 
 
Out of your eyes 
 
It's bribing me 
Am 
To doubt myself 
F            Cmaj7 
Simply, it's tiring 
 
( F  Cmaj7  Em  Am ) 
 
              Em 
This love has dried up 
           Am 
And stayed behind 
         F 
And if I stay 
         Cmaj7 
It?d be a lie 
              Em 
Then choke on words 
          Am 
I'd always hide 
          F 
Excuse me first love 
          Cmaj7 
But we're through 
          Em 
I need to taste the kiss 
             Am 
From someone new 
           F 
Forgive me first love 
           Cmaj7 
But I'm too tired 
    Em 
I'm bored to say 
 
The least and I 
       Am 
I lack desire 
 
( F  Cmaj7  Em  Am ) 
 
Forgive me first love (4x) 
Forgive me 
Forgive me first love (2x)
