(Verse)
(D) Got a Sunday phone call from my mom
(Bm) Swear she always knows when something's wrong
(G) Yeah we looked good on paper
(D) Turns out I'm just a (A)heartbreaker 
(D) So tell me what's the secret (A/C#)
When you (Bm) find love, how do you keep it (A)
I (G)don't wanna settle or end up alone
She (D)said I'm no expert but (A)here's what I know

(Chorus)
(D)Do it right the first time, and you (G)won't have to do it a-(D)gain
It (G)ain't about being (D)perfect, it's just (A)doin' the best you can
So when the (Bm)road gets tough, (D) I'll re-(G)member what she (D)said
If you (G)do it right the (D)first time
Then you won’t (A) have to do it again (D) - - -

(Verse)
(D) Showed up ay my grand-(D)daddy’s door
(Bm) Said I know I don't come around (D)anymore
(G) But yeah, you got some years on me
(D) And now I'm all (A)ears I promise 
(D) Tell me what's the secret (Em)
(Bm) And do you have any regrets (D)
(G)Seventy-five years and still so in love
(D) How'd you not give (A)up, and he said

(Chorus)
(D) Do it right the first time, and you (G)won't have to do it a-(D)gain
It (G)ain't about being (D)perfect, it's just (A)doin' the best you can
So when the (Bm)road gets tough, (D) I'll re-(G)member what she (D)said
If you (G)do it right the (D)first time

(Break)
Some (Em)day I'll have a family and (Bm)I'll get to be the one
When they (G)ask me what's the secret, I'll pass the message on

(Chorus)
(D)Do it right the first time, and you (G)won't have to do it a-(D)gain
It (G)ain't about being (D)perfect, it's just (A)doin' the best you can
So when the (Bm)road gets tough, (D) just re-(G)member what I (D)said
Just (G)do it right the first time
