Verse 1
G
How could I feel so
             C
Empty again?
G
Years ago I knew you
                         C
Where have I been?
G
Somewhere I got caught in
                                             C
The pursuit of righteous works
G
Cleaning up the hen house
                                      C
As my home collects dirt


Verse 2
G
Oh religion pulls me
                                        C
From the altar to the door
G
Jesus you remind me
                                        C
I'm your bride not an usher


Chorus 1
              Em                                        G  D
I know better, better, better than this
             Em                                         G  D
I know better, better, better than this
                             C                          G
You're my first love, my first love






Bridge
   Em                       D
I open my ears to hear
                     C
The call to return
                              G
To my first love, my first love
   Em                             D
I put the first things first
                         C
My lamp will burn
                       G                      C
For my first love, my first love


Tag
                            G
You're my first love
                            C
You're my first love
                            G
You're my first love


Verse 3
G                                                                  C
It's not enough to hate the things you hate
G                                                                C
I need to be with you at your tree and eat
G                                                                      C
To know you is to love you, I promise you this
G                                                                C
My vows renewed, resolute I won't forget


Chorus 2
                             Em                                     G 
I'll never know better, I'll never know better
                             Em                                      G 
I'll never know better, I'll never know better
                          C                      G
Than my first love, my first love

Years ago I knew you
Where have I been?
Somewhere I got caught in

Cleaning up the hen house
As my home collects dirt

From the altar to the door
