Standard Tuning

This one was a little tricky because the Am7 and C sound very similar.  I?ve 
listened through a bunch of times and think/hope I got it right.

G     320033
Am7   X02010
Bm7   X24232
C     X30210
Em    022000
D     XX0232

The guitar riff overlaying the intro and between the chorus and 2nd verse ican be 
played a number of ways, and here?s one:

e|-----7-5----------------|
B|---7-----7-------5-7-5--|
G|-7---------7-7-7--------|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|

(verse 1)
G                          Am7
Last time I saw you I was fueling up 
                    G
At our old favorite coffee shop 

Then you walked up
Am7
I tried to hide behind my cup 
G
When you said, how you've been doing
Am7
I gave you the typical line 
Bm7
I've been fine 
C
But I was lying, and dying, yeah 
Am7            D
I was a kid in love 
    C                  D
You rocked me then and it still does cause 


(chorus)
G
Ain't nothin' like the first time 
Am7
Nothin' like the first smile 
Bm7
Looking at you seeing forever 
C
Keeps me going till the last mile 
G
And I held on like crazy 
Am7
Until our goodbye baby 
Bm7
And I still miss you lately 
C
Ain't nothin' like the first time 
C (ring)
Nothin' like the first time, yeah 


(overlay riff)
G         Am7   (x2)


G
I remember you stole my breath 
Am7
Underneath the stadium steps 
Bm7
Now I'm walking 'round the block 
C
Ten years later knock knock knock 
G
Knocking on these memories 
Am7
Flooding back of you and me 
Bm7
When love was free 
        C
We were shining, flying 
Am7                           D
Yeah, I didn't understand 
  C                   D
I had you right there in my hands 


(chorus)
G
Ain't nothin' like the first time 
Am7
Nothin' like the first smile 
Bm7
Looking at you seeing forever 
C
Keeps me going till the last mile 
G
And I held on like crazy 
Am7
Until our goodbye baby 
Bm7
And I still miss you lately 
C                               Em
Ain't nothin' like the first time 


(bridge)
      C
First time 
      G
Never get it back again 
      D
But I still remember when
      Em 
First time 
      C
First time 
          G
There's a magic in the way 
D                  D (ring) 
You will always stay 
G     C     G  C   D
                Oh oh oh

Oooooooooooh

(Nothin? like the first time)
          C            D
There's a magic in the way 
C               D
You will always stay
