Intro:    
Verse1:
Bm              G              D
Even though you're gone and far away,
    A
I feel you all around.
Bm              G              D
I think about it every single day,
    A
You got away somehow
Pre-Chorus:
    G
I can't sleep,
    A
It's hard to breath,
Bm            D
And i still feel you next to me,
G           A
Now, i can see.
Chorus:
Bm                G
The first one is the worst one,
            D               A
When it comes to a broken heart,
Bm                     G
Your first love, yeah, you're so young,
           D               A
And you feel like a fallin' star,
           Bm
There's a fire in the city,
            G
That's burnin' out tonight,
           D                        A
You're breathing but you're barely alive,
Bm                G
The first one is the worst one,
         D                  A
When it comes, when it comes to a broken heart.
Verse 2:
Spinnin' like a movie in my head,
I've seen a thousand times,
I've learned to take it hard,
And fall instead
of sittin' safe on the side lines.
Pre-Chorus 2:
Lost days,
Pictures fade,
Somehow, you're still miles away,
It's safe to say,
Chorus 2:
The first one is the worst one,
When it comes to a broken heart,
Your first love, yeah, you're so young,
And you feel like a fallin' star,
There's a fire in the city,
That's burnin' out tonight,
You're breathing but you're barely alive,
The first one is the worst one,
When it comes, when it comes to a broken heart.
Bridge:
G
'Cause I would run through a thunderstorm
     Bm
just to kiss you,
         A
I'm out here on my own,
G                                   Bm
Better now than i was before, but i miss you
       A
and i want you to know.
      G
I can't sleep,
      A
It's hard to breath,
           Bm                D
And i still feel you next to me,
G          D     D
and I can see, yeah
Chorus 3:
The first one is the worst one,
When it comes to a broken heart,
Your first love, yeah, you're so young,
And you feel like a fallin' star,
There's a fire in the city,
That's burnin' out tonight,
You're breathing but you're barely alive,
The first one is the worst one,
When it comes, when it comes to a broken heart.
The first one is the worst one,
When it comes to a broken heart,
Your first love, yeah, you're so young,

You're breathing but you're barely alive,
