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
