Intro:C D C A Bb C(Single note)

F          Dm         Bb          C
How well I remember my very first love affair.
F              Dm            Bb                 C
Those juvenile fantasies and innocent dreams we shared.
Gm                     Gm7          F                   Dm
But we're too blind to realize that we are totally unprepared
        Bb            C       F
For the first time we fall in love.
F             Dm           Bb                    C
We think it's forever, the first time we fall in love.
F         Dm           Bb                    C
We always treasure the first time we fall in love.
Gm                   Gm7
Those other romances come and go,
       F                  Dm
But we cherish the memory of
    Bb            C       F 
The first time we fall in love.

      F                  Dm 
First love can be such a strain.
                 Gm                     Em
It can rule your head, it can bring you pain,
            F                    Dm
And when it ends it seems such a shame.
    Bb            C       F
The first time we fall in love,
             Dm                   Gm
Can make you sad, it can keep you awake,
                 Em
It can drive you mad.
                      F                     Dm
People say you're too young and it's only a fad
    Bb            C       F   Am
The first time we fall in love.
    Bb            C       F   F Em
The first time we fall in love.


Dm                                    Bb                       Bb C
The first time I fell out of love, it knocked me through the floor.
Dm                              Bb                 Bb Am
My world came crashing down, it shook me to the core.
  Gm 
I was unprepared 'cos I was only a kid
      F                      Am  
And I was much too young and I wasn't equipped
        Dm        Bb            Dm           C C C C
For the emotional pressures and stresses of it.
    F                 Dm
But oh, I'll never forget
             Gm                            Em 
The way that she looked the first time we met.
          F                   Dm 
Time goes by but we never forget
    Bb            C       F
The first time we fall in love.


Dm                           Bb           Bb C
Love can be exciting, it can be a bloody bore.
Dm                        Bb              Bb Am
Love can be a pleasure or nothing but a chore.
Gm
Love can be like a dull routine,
   F                              Am 
It can run you around till you're out of steam.
   Dm            Bb           Dm            C C C C  
It can treat you well, it can treat you mean,
F                Dm
Love can mess you around,
      Gm                            Em
I can pick you up, it can bring you down.
                  F                    Dm
But they'll never know The feelings we show
    Bb            C       F   Am
The first time we fall in love.
    Bb            C       F   
The first time we fall in love.
