Hozier - First time

Re^C#member once I told you abo^G#ut How be^D#m7fore I heard it from your mouth My n^C#ame would always hit m^G#y ears as suc^D#m7h an awful sound And the s^C#oul, if that's what you'd ca^G#ll it Un^D#m7easy ally of the body, it felt na^C#meless as a riv^G#er Undisc^F#overed undergro^D#m7und

And the f^C#irst time that you ki^G#ssed me I drank ^D#m7dry the River Lithe The L^C#iffey would have been so^G#fter on my st^D#m7omach all the same But you sp^C#oke some quick ne^G#w music That ^D#m7went so far to soothe this soul As it w^C#as and ever sha^G#ll be, unea^D#m7rth without a name

S^C#ome part of m^G#e must hav^D#m7e died The fi^C#rst time that you ca^G#lled me, "Bab^F#y" And so^C#me part of m^G#e came ali^D#m7ve The f^C#irst time that you cal^G#led me, "Bab^F#y"

These d^C#ays I think I owe m^G#y life To flo^D#m7wers that were left here by my m^C#other Ain't that l^G#ike them, giftin' li^F#fe to you again This l^C#ife lived mostly un^G#derground U^D#m7nknowin' either sight nor sound 'Til re^C#achin' up for sunli^G#ght just to be rip^F#ped out by the stem

Sensing on^C#ly now it's dy^G#in' Drying ^D#m7out, then drowning blindly Bloomin' f^C#orth its every co^G#lour In the m^F#oments it has left To share the sp^C#ace with simple li^G#ving things I^D#m7nfinitely suffering, but fighting of^C#f like all creat^G#ion The a^F#bsence of itself, anyway

S^C#ome part of m^G#e must hav^D#m7e died Ea^C#ch time that you cal^G#led me, "Bab^F#y" But s^C#ome part of me^G# stayed ali^D#m7ve Ea^C#ch time that you ca^G#lled, eac^F#h time that you called

Come h^C#ere Ooh-la-^G#la, o^D#m7oh-la-la Whatever ke^C#eps you arou^G#nd, it kee^F#ps you around O^C#oh-la-l^G#a, come here, oo^D#m7h-la-la Whatever k^C#eeps you aro^G#und, it kee^F#ps you around

The la^C#st time it was heard out lo^G#ud The perfect g^D#m7enius of our hands and mouths were sh^C#ocked To resigna^G#tion as the ar^F#guing declined When ^C#I was young I used to gue^G#ss Are there l^D#m7imits to any emptiness? Whe^C#n was the last ti^G#me Come here to ^F#me, when was the last time?

S^C#ome part of me^G# must have die^D#m7d The f^C#inal time you cal^G#led me, "Bab^F#y" But s^C#ome part of m^G#e came ali^D#m7ve The f^C#inal time you ^G#called me, "^F#Baby"
