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
