Tom:
G Em7 Cadd9
You say you never danced to a dashboard singin' R.E.M. under summer stars
G Em7 Cadd9
Never leaned back on a jet black Chevy, blowing smoke rings in the dark
G Em7 Cadd9
You don't want to be a rumor, girl, and I feel just the same
G Em7 Cadd9
Yeah, I know that you don't know me well but we can make that change
[Chorus]
G Em7 Cadd9
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
G
Yeah, let yourself go, follow that feeling
Cadd9 D
Maybe something new is what you're needing
G Em7
Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive
Cadd9 D G Em7 Cadd9
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
[Verse 2]
G Em7 Cadd9
Say you never drank from the bottle of some two dollar wine, run barefoot through the mud
G Em7 Cadd9
Never had the right kiss stolen from your lips, while you watched the sun come up
G Em7 Cadd9
Well, I know your friends are watching and they probably disapprove
G Em7 Cadd9
But give me just half a chance, girl, I'm daring you
[Chorus]
G Em7 Cadd9
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
G
Yeah, let yourself go, baby, follow that feeling
[Instrumental Break]

D7sus4

[Chorus]
G Em7 Cadd9
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
G
Yeah yeah, let yourself go, come on follow that feeling
Cadd9 D
Maybe something new is what you're needing
G Em7
Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive, alive
Cadd9 D G
When was the last time oh you did something for the first time, girl?
Em7 Cadd9
Tell me, baby
G Em7 Cadd9 G
When was the last time yeah you did something for the first time?
