D5
I been livin' like a drunken sailor 

Playin' in a rock 'n roll band 
A5                       G5                     D5
Far from a failure, I feel like a brand new man 
D5
Smoking like a fiend and schemin' 

Dealin' with the upper hand 
A5                          G5                    D5
It's been so long since I felt this good, God damn 
G5            D5
I'm finally standin' tall 
G5       D5
I feel I just can't fall 
G5           D5                       A5     
Your love takes me to a higher place 
G5                         D5
For the first time, in a long time 
G5                    D5
I'm done payin' my dues
G5                         D5   
For the first time, in a long time 
A5
I don't feel used 
C5          G5        D5
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
