Capo 2
Intro chords:
D Bm G G/F# Em A
D Bm
Look at the two of you dancin' that way
G G/F# Em A
Lost in the moment and each other's face
D Bm
So much in love, you're alone in this place
G G/F# Em A
Like there's nobody else in the world
D Bm
I was enough for her not long ago
G G/F# Em A
I was her number one, she told me so
D Bm
And she still means the world to me just so you know
G G/F# Em A
So be careful when you hold my girl
Pre-Chorus:
Bm G
Time changes everything, life must go on
D A
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
Chorus
D Bm
I loved her first, I held her first
G G/F# Em
And a place in my heart will always be hers
A D Bm
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
G G/F# Em A
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Em D/F# G G/F#
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
Em D/F# A
But it's still hard to give her away
D
I loved her first
How could that beautiful woman with you
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairytales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
Pre-Chorus
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time
Chorus 1
Fiddle
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
Ooh, ooh
