G      Am      C    G  Am  C
First things first
              G     Am          C     Dm  G  Am C
When you can quit livin' in the past
          G      Am       C           Dm  G  Am C
When you stop worryin' 'bout tomorrow
         G        Am         C    Dm  G  Am C
Then I think you just might last

[Chorus]

       Am7       C       D       Am7  C  D
And I know the price of freedom
        Am7   C             D   Am7  C  D
Gettin' more than a little high
          Am7   C    D         Am7  C  D
In these angry days of sorrow
               Am7     C    D     F  C  D
We'll find the meaning of a lie
                 G     Am     C     G  Am C Dm  G  Am C
So I sing about first things first, oooo

[Verse 2]

G      Am      C    G  Am  C
First things first
          G     Am      C     Dm  G  Am C
Remember everything you pass
               G     Am      C     Dm  G  Am C
And when it's time to go on back
             G       Am           C     Dm  G  Am C
Remember to put the first things last

[Chorus]

       Am7       C       D       Am7  C  D
And I know the price of freedom
        Am7   C             D   Am7  C  D
Gettin' more than a little high
          Am7   C    D         Am7  C  D
In these angry days of sorrow
               Am7     C    D     Am7  C  D
We'll find the meaning of a lie
                 G     Am     C     G  Am C
So I sing about first things first
 G      Am     C    G  Am C
First things first,       whoa yeah
 G      Am     C   G  Am C
First things first,
 G      Am     C   G  Am C
First things first,
 G      Am     C   G  Am C
First things first,
 G      Am     C   G  Am C
First things first.
