This is my first song tabbing, but I think it works. Let me know if something doesn't
right!
 
Chords:
F Cmaj7 Em Am
 
 
[Verse]
F           Cmaj7
So little to say
 
But so much time
   Em
Despite my empty mouth
                 Am
The words are in my mind
      F
Please wear the face
                  Cmaj7
The one where you smile
 
Because you
        Em
Lighten up my heart
                Am
When I start to cry
 
 
[Chorus]
           F
Forgive me first love
       Cmaj7
But I'm tired
          Em
I need to get away
        Am
To feel again
                  F
Try to understand why
            Cmaj7
Don't get so close
 
To change my mind
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                 Em
Please wipe that look
 
Out of your eyes
 
It's bribing me
Am
To doubt myself
F            Cmaj7
Simply, it's tiring
 
F  Cmaj7  Em  Am
 
 
[Verse]
              Em
This love has dried up
           Am
And stayed behind
         F
And if I stay
         Cmaj7
It’d be a lie
              Em
Then choke on words
          Am
I'd always hide
          F
Excuse me first love
          Cmaj7
But we're through
          Em
I need to taste the kiss
             Am
From someone new
 
 
[Chorus]
           F
Forgive me first love
           Cmaj7
But I'm too tired
    Em
I'm bored to say
 
The least and I
       Am
I lack desire
 
 
F  Cmaj7  Em  Am
 
 
Forgive me first love (4x)
Forgive me
Forgive me first love (2x)

this is great. only that you might try to play the Cmaj7 as just a C. it sounds right, i think. please let me know what you think.
