E             A   E                   A
I have a lover, a lover like no other
        E                           A        E                     A
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul and she teach me how to sing
C#m                           A
Shows me colours when there's none to see
C#m                  A                          E         A       E
Gives me hope when I can't believe that for the first time I feel love

E               A           E                A
I have a brother when I'm a brother in need
           E                  A              E                A
I spend my whole time running, he spends his running after me
C#m                A           C#m                A
When I feel myself going down, I just call and he comes around
            E          A       E
But for the first time, I feel love
Hoo...

My Father is a rich man, He wears a rich man's cloak
            E                   A                 E            A
Gave me the keys to His kingdom coming, gave me a cup of gold

He said "I have many mansions, and there are many rooms to see."
      E                    A       E                    A
But I left by the back door, and I threw away the key 
      E                 A        C#m                 A
And I threw away the key, yeah I threw away the key
       C#m                 A   
Yeah I threw away the key
        E         A       E
For the first time I feel love

I have a brother, when I'm a brother in need

He spends his running after me

When I feel myself goin' down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time I feel love

My father is a rich man, he wears a rich man's cloak
Gave me the keys to his kingdom (coming)
Gave me a cup of gold

He said "I have many mansions, and there are many rooms to see"
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key...

For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
I feel love
