First Love chords by Slowly Slowly

🎸 Verse 1:
B
First loves don't leave you, the needles & pins

My phantom limb likes to cry full of gin
    G             Gm
She's a molten mistake, lightning blue at the wake
     G
She just hangs tight
    Cm7
And I meant what I said at the foothills
     Bmaj7
Won't you walk me, talk with me, give me tonight
     Cm7
Ancient ruins bullied by sky scraper lights
 Bmaj7
Hungry & homeless I creep into the glow of it's

G
Lonely, dying flame,


🎸 Chorus:
     C
I think I want to
    C       G
Be the memory that you turn to
      Fm       G      C
When you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
      C          G
But at the same time I want to forget you
    Fm     G
Take a gun to the mantle
   C         C
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
   G              Fm     G
I'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
C      C             G
Tamed into numbness, it's what I have become since
  Fm     G    C
The person you recognise


Verse 2 - yours truly:
Bmaj7
First loves conditioned like poisonous fate

With optimism we just contradict
    G          Gm
Was I just your mistake, cinnamon to the taste
     G
Bitter but graceful
      Cm7
You know I meant what I said in the moment
       Bmaj7
But now I'm pendulum sentiments, swaying while I cry
Cm7
Destined for abattoirs, lovers only live
 Bmaj7
A penny for your thoughts, I would kill for a kiss

G
Lonely, dying flame,


🎸 Chorus 2:
      C
 I think I want to
    C        G
Be the memory that you turn to
      Fm       G      C
When you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
      C          G
But at the same time I want to forget you
    Fm     G
Take a gun to the mantle
   C         C
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
   G              Fm     G
I'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
C      C          G
Tamed into numbness, it's what I have become since

The person you recognise


Verse 3 - both:
B
First loves are lethal, dilute all you like

Reticent discontent laboured in stride
     Cm           Gm           G
Hear the acid rain dripping down the water pipes to the ocean floor
   Cm7
And I meant what I said you're an angel
     Bmaj7
You were sent to me, carefully right at the time
    Cm7
That I needed a petal to throw into the fire
     Bmaj7
Something pretty and impermanent that I could admire

G
Lonely, dying flame,


🎸 Chorus 3:
     C
I think I want to
    C        G

When you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
      C          G
But at the same time I want to forget you
    Fm     G
Take a gun to the mantle
  C         C
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
   G              Fm     G
I'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
C     C             G

The person you recognise
