F             C
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
                    C
The one where you smile
Because you
        Em
Lighten up my heart
                 Am
When I start to cry

Chorus:
            F
Forgive me first love
         C
But I'm tired
          Em
I need to get away
          Am
To feel again
                    F
Try to understand why
               C
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        C
Simply, it's tiring

This love has dried up,
and stayed behind
And if I stay I'll be a lie
Then choke on words
I'd always hide
Excuse me, first love,
but we're through
I need to taste
the kiss from someone new
Forgive me, first love,
but I'm too tired
I'm bored to say the least
and I, I lack desire

Chorus:
Forgive me first love
But I'm too tired
I'm bored to say
The least and I
I lack desire

             F
Forgive me, first love,
             C
forgive me, first love
             Em
Forgive me, first love,
             Am
forgive me, first love,

forgive me
Forgive me, first love,
forgive me, first love
