I Loved Her First

[D] [Bm] [G] [G/F#] [Em] [A]

 

[D]Look at the two of you [Bm]dancin' that way

[G]Lost in the [G/F#]moment and [Em]each other's [A]face

[D]So much in love, you're [Bm]alone in this place

Like there's [G]nobody [G/F#]else in the [Em] [A]world

[D]I was enough for her [Bm]not long ago

[G]I was her [G/F#]number one, [Em]she told me [A]so

And she [D]still means the world to me [Bm]just so you know

So be [G]careful when [G/F#]you hold my [Em] [A]girl

 

[Bm]Time changes everything, [G]life must go on

And I'm [D]not gonna stand in your [A]way

 

I loved her [D]first, I held her [Bm]first

And a place in my [G]heart will [G/F#]always be [Em]hers

From the [A]first breath she [D]breathed when she first smiled at [Bm]me

I knew the [G]love of a [G/F#]father runs [Em] [A]deep

And I [Em]prayed that she'd [D/F#]find you [G] [G/F#]someday

But it's [Em]still hard to [D/F#]give her [A]away

I loved her [D]first

 

[D]How could that beautiful [Bm]woman with you

[G]Be the same [G/F#]freckled-face [Em]kid that I [A]knew

[D]The one that I read all [Bm]those fairytales to

[G]And tucked [G/F#]into bed all [Em]those [A]nights

 

[Bm]And I knew the first time [G]I saw you with her

It was [D]only a matter of [A]time

 

I loved her [D]first, I held her [Bm]first

And a place in my [G]heart will [G/F#]always be [Em]hers

From the [A]first breath she [D]breathed when she first smiled at [Bm]me

I knew the [G]love of a [G/F#]father runs [Em] [A]deep

And I [Em]prayed that she'd [D/F#]find you [G] [G/F#]someday

But it's [Em]still hard to [D/F#]give her [A]away

I loved her [D]first

From the [A]first breath she [D]breathed

When she first smiled at [Bm]me

I knew the [G]love of a [G/F#]father runs [Em] [A]deep

Someday [Em]you might know [D/F#]what I'm goin' [G] [G/F#]through

When a [Em]miracle smiles [D/F#]up at [A]you

I loved her [D]first
