lyrics

My First Lover
Part A:
G C
The soft bloom of her tender heart
G D
seared my eyes and tore me apart
G C
the kindness of her alluring smile
G D
cut to my soul and burned for awhile
G C
The siren call of her fawn skin eyes
G D G
scarred my skin and wouldn’t compromise

Part B:
G C
From across the room at her I stared
G D
the first time my heart had ever cared
G C
my raging pulse beat I my eyes
G D G
she looked back at me and that was my demise

Part C:
G C G
Oh yes she was my first lover
G C G
Oh yes she was why my heart it flared
G C G
Oh Yes she was my first lover
G D G
But she never even knew I cared

Part A:
G C
The stony gaze of her gelid heart
G D
seared my eyes and tore me apart
G C
The callous gun of her steely smile
G D
cut my soul and burned for awhile
G C
The careless grin of her surly eyes
G D G
scarred my skin and wouldn’t compromise

Part B:
G C
She whispered at me ‘why you lookin’ for”
G D
I raised up and declared “I’m lookin’ for the door
G C
The room it throbbed and my eyes they blurred
G D G
My love looked at me and I couldn’t say another word

Part C:
REPEAT
