Kelsea Ballerini - The First Time: chords

             G#
I put on my make up
          D#
Spray my perfume
            A#                   Cm
Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you
               G#                     D#      A#
Said we would catch up because it had been a while
          G#
I hate to admit it
                  D#
But my hands are shaking
        A#
Barely breathin'
          Cm
Heart is racin'
            G#                    D#           A#
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds

     G#                       D#
But you never called, never showed up
       A#                Cm
Guess somethings never change
     G#                     D#            A#
And just like living in a flashback, you let me down again

Chorus:
                G#                 D#
That's why the past should be the past
 A#                        Cm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
         G#                 D#
Let the memories burn and crash
       A#                           Cm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
         G#               D#
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
     A#                            Cm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
     G#                         D#        A#
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
           Cm
The first time

I should know better
I hate that I still cry
Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights
And kickin' myself for believin' in you again
I bet you're out drinkin' with a new blonde and
Telling her whatever's playin' is her song
Yeah, and helping her up into your Chevy instead

Even when you don't have me
You can still be the one to hurt me
It must feel good to know
That I'm still holdin' on to letting go

Chorus

Yeah, that's why the past should be the past
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
Let the memories burn and crash
'Cause sittin' here looking at this driveway
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
And that's why goodbye should mean goodbye
So now I'm letting you go just like I shoulda tried
The first time
The first time, oh yeah

Yeah, that's why the past should be the past, oh
The first time
Yeah
