   E5                                   D5
He's the first taste of something you shouldn't have
       E5                           D5
He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
           E5                         D5              C5
He's the reason you love the smell of polo and peppermint

             E5                         D5
He's the lips that taught you how to kiss
              E5                            D5
He's the reason you know how to drive a stick
            E5             D5            C5
He's the last time you ever felt innocent

Chorus:
         E5                          C5
It's a scene from a Saturday matinee
      E5                                    C5
It's a song that remembers those summer days
   E5                    C5              D5
Even if that cowboy rides away real slow
                 D5
The boy never stays
     E5            D5
And the love never goes

              E5                  D5
He's the reason ferris wheels make you sad
          E5                     D5
He's a box full of taped-up photographs
             E5                    D5           C5
He's the feeling that always feels like seventeen

           E5                     D5
He's a name that you hardly ever hear
          E5                       D5
He's a face that you haven't seen in years
            E5                D5               C5
That you meet up once in a while in your dreams

Chorus

          E5         D5               C5
You never fall quite the same again
             D5
After the first time
              C5
Forever ends

Chorus

               C5
Oh the love never goes

            E5                              D5
He's the first taste of something you shouldn't have
                 E5                         D5 
He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
