G D
I had a bbq stain on my white t-shirt,
C D
She was killing me in that mini skirt.
G D Em D C D
Skipping rocks on the river by the railroad tracks.
G D
She had a suntan line and red lipstick,
Am Bm C D
I worked so hard for that first kiss,
Em D C D G F C Em D
And a heart don't forget something like that.
[Verse 2]
G F
It was five years later on a southbound plane,
C
I was headed down to New Orleans.
G F C D
To meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras.
G F
When I heard a voice from the past,
C
Coming from a few rows back,
G F C D
And when I looked I couldn't believe just what I saw.
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
She said "I bet you don't remember me."
C/E D/F#
And I said "Only every other memory".
[Chorus]

Like an old photograph time can make a feeling fade,

But the memory of the first love never fades away.
