E  A

         E                    E7
It's the first time that I've been here,
      A 
Since I was here with him.
    F#m            C#m 
I remember all the wild flowers,
A             B 
Wavin' in the wind. 
E                E7
Life was an undiscovered river:
A     E/G#    F#m  Bsus B
I was jumpin' in   head first. 

       E             B/D#
It was sink or swim; do or die;
C#m             B 
Sneakin' out on summer nights,
A             E/G# 
Stealin' wine from my Pa,
    B 
The thrill of not gettin' caught. 
    E              B/D#
An' now an' then I miss those days,
    C#m         B 
But comin' back to this place,
  A       E/G#           F#m 
I realise it ain't him I miss,
          A                      B                    E         A  F#m
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence,   yeah. 


E                 E7
We ran off to the corn field,
        A 
Just outside the county fair;
           F#m               C#m 
There were butterflies in my stomach,
    A                B 
An' fireflies in the air.
   E                 E7 
He tried hard not to show it,
        A      E/G#    F#m       Bsus  B 
Oh, but he was just as scared as me. 

           E             B/D#
And it was sink or swim; do or die;
C#m             B 
Sneakin' out on summer nights,
A             E/G# 
Stealin' wine from my Pa,
    B 
The thrill of not gettin' caught. 
    E              B/D#
An' now an' then I miss those days,
    C#m         B 
But comin' back to this place,
  A       E/G#           F#m 
I realise it ain't him I miss,
          A                      B                    E         
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah. 


    A                       B
And coming here has made me come to this: 
    A                                 B
The one thing I can't get back is the one thing I miss, yeah. 

           E               B/D#
An' it was breakin' rules, flyin' blind;
C#m                  B 
What you see through younger eyes;
   A             E/G# 
It wasn't what I thought it was,
B 
Man, I swore he was the one. 
    E              B/D#
An' now an' then I miss those days, 
    C#m         B 
But comin' back to this place,
  A       E/G#           F#m 
I realise it ain't him I miss,
          A                      B                    E          E7
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah
          A                      B               E              E7  A
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence,    yeah
          E         E7   A   F#m
It's that innocence
E
Mmmmm
