G# A#m              Fm
I thought I'd feel different, playing Wembley
G# A#m             Fm
Eighty-thousand, singing with me
G#        A#m             Fm
This is what I've been chasing
                     C#maj7 D# Fm
'Cause this is the dream

When it was all over, I cleared out the room
Grabbed a couple beers, just me and you
Then we started talking the way that we do

C#maj7                  D#
Ain't it funny how the simplest things
                    Fm
in life can make a man
                     G#
Little moments that pass us by
G#/C    C#maj7 D#
Oh but I remember

Chorus:
G#              A#m              Fm
The first kiss, the first night
              C#maj7          G#
The first song that made you cry
                A#m          Fm  C#maj7           G#
The first drink, red wine, on a step in Brooklyn, I
          A#m              Fm           C#maj7        G#
Still feel the first fight, and we both made it out alive
             A#m            C#maj7      D#
And I can't wait to make a million more first times

The greatest thing that I have achieved
Was four little words, down on one knee
You said, "Darling, are you jokin'?",
and I just said, "Please"

Ain't it funny how the simplest
things in life can make a man?
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember

Chorus:
The first kiss, the first night,
the first song that made you cry
The first look in your eyes when I said "I love you"
I can still feel the butterflies
from when we stumbled home that night
I can't wait to make a million more first times

Ain't it funny how the simplest things
in life can make a man?
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember

Chorus:
The first kiss, first night, first song that made you cry
First dance in moonlight in your parents' garden
I can't wait to see everything that's yet to be
Our first child and then a million more first times
