Selection chords: Ethan Cooper

Verse:
G                                                                                D
 Been walking on a tightrope, juggling high hopes and reality
G                                                                                    D
 Just trying not to mess up, tryna keep my head up, fighting gravity
  Em              C                   G                 D
I canʼt outrun growing up, I still feel like a kid
 
Pre-chorus:
Em                  C
Quick to judge the ones we love
G                     D
Sometimes I forget
 
Chorus:
              Em             C        G
Itʼs your first time on Earth too
          Em                                C                   G   D
And I hope that you know that I donʼt blame you
             Em                      C
Itʼs just pain that you were passing down
        G             D
Iʼm older, and I see it now
            Em     C
Itʼs your first time on Earth too
 
Verse:
C                                                        G                   D
 Watch bottles in the cabinet, tryna kill a habit that was killing you
Em                        C                                   G                            D
 Back then, I didnʼt get that you gave me the best that you knew how to do
               Em               C                 G                   D
You were far from done growing up when you had a kid
 
Pre-chorus:
Em                  C
Quick to judge the ones we love
G                     D
Sometimes I forget
 
Chorus:
              Em             C        G
Itʼs your first time on Earth too
          Em                                C                   G   D
And I hope that you know that I donʼt blame you
             Em                      C
Itʼs just pain that you were passing down
        G             D
Iʼm older, and I see it now
            Em     C                G
Itʼs your first time on Earth too
 
Bridge:
               Em                                      C
When you pass through the waters, Iʼll be with you
                      G
Just ʼcause Iʼm angry sometimes, donʼt mean I donʼt miss you
        Em                      C
You had your issues and I had mine
      G                              D
Oh, Iʼd forgive you if we still had time
 Em                    C
I was too young, I couldnʼt see
         G                                 D
The world on your shoulders, you traded your dreams
      Em                C
For me, for us, is that just life?
            G
Nobody ever gets everything right
 
Chorus:
              Em             C        G
Itʼs your first time on Earth too
          Em                                C                   G   D
And I hope that you know that I donʼt blame you
             Em                      C
Itʼs just pain that you were passing down
        G             D
Iʼm older, and I see it now
            Em     C                G
Itʼs your first time on Earth too
