[Verse]

  D                            G               D
I sit down each morning and I start to move my pen
D                                    A7
It's what I know that I was meant to do
  D                          G               D
Without knowing how I find I write your name again
          G              A7                 D
Oh, it's always true the first song is for you

[Chorus]

G                                  D
Every time I start it's still the same
G                                 A7
When I move my pen it writes your name
  D                            G               D
I remember all you've done and all you've tried to do
G              A7                 D
When I do the first song is for you

[Verse]

  D                            G               D
I sit down with my guitar and try to write a song
D                                         A7
About all the trials and trib' we've been through
  D                          G               D
Never would have come so far without love so strong
          G              A7                 D
So it's always true the first song is just for you

[Chorus]

G                                  D
Every time I start it's still the same
G                                 A7
When I move my pen it writes your name
  D                            G               D
I remember all you've done and all you've tried to do
G                 A7                 D
But when I do the first song is for you

[Verse]

  D                                   G         D
I think about the times when you were there for me
D                          A7
There for the long hard climb
  D                    G                  D
I think about the many ways you cared for me
       G           A7    D
Cared for me time after time

[Verse]

  D                             G              D
I can see your picture where it hangs upon the wall
D                          A7
Every time I see it, it's still new
  D                            G                  D
I might write a thousand songs but as I write them all
G                        A7                D
It'll still be true the first song is for you

[Outro]

G                                  D
Every time I start it's still the same
G                                 A7
When I move my pen it writes your name
  D                            G               D
I remember all you've done and all you've tried to do
G                 A7                 D
And when I do the first song is for you
G                  A7                 D
But when I do the first song is for you
