[Intro]
A A+ Dmaj7 x2
[Verse 1]
A A+
I picked you up from the airport
Dmaj7
Your smile didn't feel the same
A A+
Asked you a question then watched as
Dmaj7
You shot it down like a plane
F#m F#m/F
And I'm not being too dramatic
F#m/E B7
I'm the one who bought your flight
A A+
I knew I shouldn't have told you
Dmaj7
How much I make a week
A A+
And we both think that it's stupid
Dmaj7
That they pay me just to sing
F#m F#m/F
And I can sing for you for free
F#m/E B7
But it's just never quite as special
A A+
As the first time I sang you
Dmaj7
'First Day of My Life'
A A+
We both thought Bright Eyes was old news
Dmaj7
But the song still made you smile
F#m F#m/F
And I feel like it's been a while
F#m/E D
Since your light shone on my account
A F#m
But when you're not around
D Dm
I turn into something
C#m F#m
I'm not lost or found
D E7
I'm neither, I'm nothing
A F#m
When you're not around
D Dm
There's not much to say
C#m F#m
Hear me yelling out loud
D D/E
My love went away hear me shout
A F#m D E7 C#m F#m D E7 x4
