[Verse 1]
Fadd11
Your picture plays out scenes that haunt my dreams
Fadd11/C
Like ripples in the current of a midnight stream
Dm Dmadd11 Dm
that hopes to make the sea one day
Fadd11
I was the push and you were the shove
Fadd11/C
and all we had was each other's love
Dm
Forever

Forever
Fadd11
Said you would go to the end of earth
Fadd11/C
That you didn’t care how much it hurt
Dm Dmadd11 Dm
as long as we had each other
[Chorus]
A# C
But our first love is just like that
Dm
then it's gone in just a flash
A# C Dm
Your heart stops beating
A# C
Somehow we survived
Dm
the first fall
[Verse 2]
Fadd11
Bet you still think of me sometimes
Fadd11/C
When your all alone and the lights just right
Dm Dmadd11 Dm
I know when the sun is fading
Fadd11
Remember when I would pick you up for a ride
Fadd11/C
then we end up out all night
Dm Dmadd11 Dm
I knew your dad would kill me
[Chorus]
A# C
Days weeks months turn into years
Dm A#
We each meet another and all our fears of being alone
C Dm
are faded
A# C Dm
Aren't you glad you survived the first fall
[Bridge]
Fadd11 Fadd11/C Dm Dmadd11
[Chorus]

then it's gone in just a flash

Your heart stops beating

Somehow we survived
Dm
the first fall
[Outro]

rode in on the wind like a whisper in time
Dm
that got lost
