For the First Time (acoustic)

I'm all laid up in bed with a broken heart

While he's drinking Jack all alone in the local bar

And we don't know how

How we got into this mad situation

Only doing things out of frustration

Trying to make it work

But man, these times are hard

I need him now, but he can't seem to find the time

He's got a new job on the unemployment line

And we don't know how

How we got into this mess, it's like God's test

Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best

Trying to make it work

But man, these times are hard

We're gonna start by drinking off cheap bottles of wine

Sit talking up all night

Saying things we haven't for a while, a while

Yeah, we're smiling but we're close to tears

Even after all these years

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting

For the first time

He's in line at the door with his head held high

Well I just lost my job, but didn't lose my pride

And we both know how

How we're gonna make it work when it hurts

When you pick yourself up, you get kicked in the dirt

Trying to make it work

But man, these times are hard

We're gonna start by drinking off cheap bottles of wine

Sit talking up all night

Saying things we haven't for a while, a while

Yeah, we're smiling but we're close to tears

Even after all these years

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting

For the first time

Oh, these times are hard

Yeah, they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me, baby

Oh, these times are hard

Yeah, they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me, baby

Oh, these times are hard

Yeah, they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me, baby
