CAPO II
(Intro)
D Bm
G D/F# Em A
D Bm
Look at the two of you dancin' that way
G D/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 D/F# A A
Like there's nobody else in the world
D Bm
I was enough for her not long ago
G D/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 D/F# A A
So be careful when you hold my girl
Bm G
Time changes everything, life must go on
D/A A
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
D Bm
I loved her first, I held her first
G D/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 D/F# Em A
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Em D/F# G D/F#
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
Em D/F# A (Parada)
But it's still hard to give her away,
D Bm G
I loved her first
D Bm
How could that beautiful woman with you
G D/F# Em A
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew
D Bm
The one that I read all those fairytales to
G D/F# A A
And tucked into bed all those nights
Bm G
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
D/A A
It was only a matter of time
D Bm
I loved her first, I held her first
G D/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 D/F# Em A
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Em D/F# G D/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
Bm
G D/F# Em A
D
From the first breath she breathed
Bm
When she first smiled at me
G D/F# Em A
I knew the love of a father runs deep
(p) Em D/F# G D/F#
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
Em D/F# A
When a miracle smiles up at you
D Bm
I loved her first
(Ralent) G D
