For The First Time In A Long Time

D i been livin’ like a drunken sailor playin’ in a rock ’n roll band A G D far from a failure , i feel like a brand new man D smoking like a fiend and schemin’ dealin’ with the upper hand A G D it’s been so long since i felt this good , god damn G D i’m finally standin’ tall G D i feel i just can’t fall G D A your love takes me to a higher place G D for the first time , in a long time G D i’m done payin’ my dues G D for the first time , in a long time A i don’t feel used C G D ohhhhhhh ohhhh , ohhhhhhhhh let’s go out honky tonkin’ dancing till the morning light the time is now and this time i feel all right i’m finally standin’ tall i feel i just can’t fall your love takes me to a higher place for the first time , in a long time i don’t stand accused for the first time , in a long time i feel brand new life’s been kind , water tastes like wine i feel so high like i’m on cloud nine for the first time , in a long time
