Verse
 E                      C#m
Look at the two of you dancin' that way
A           A/Ab       F#m           B
Lost in the moment and each other's face
E                       C#m 
So much in love, you're alone in this place
             A       A/Ab      F#m    B       
Like there's nobody else in the world

E                    C#m
I was enough for her not long ago
A           A/Ab       F#m        B
I was her number one, she told me so
        E                           C#m
And she still means the world to me just so you know
      A            A/Ab      F#m       B
So be careful when you hold my girl


Pre-Chorus
C#m                       A  
Time changes everything, life must go on
        E                       B
And I'm not gonna stand in your way


Chorus
            E                 C#m
I loved her first, I held her first
                  A          A/Ab      F#m
And a place in my heart will always be hers
         B                E                                 C#m
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
           A         A/Ab        F#m    B 
I knew the love of a father runs deep
      F#m                E         A     A/Ab             
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
         F#m             E     B
But it's still hard to give her away
            E
I loved her first

Verse 2
E                         C#m
How could that beautiful woman with you
A              A/Ab      F#m           B
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew
E                         C#m
The one that I read all those fairytales to
A             A/Ab     F#m       B
And tucked into bed all those nights

Pre-Chorus
C#m                       A
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
        E                        B
It was only a matter of time

Chorus
             E                C#m
I loved her first, I held her first
                  A          A/Ab      F#m7
And a place in my heart will always be hers
         B                E                                 C#m
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
           A         A/Ab        F#m7    B 
I knew the love of a father runs deep
      F#m7                E         A    A/Ab              
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
         F#m7            E      B
But it's still hard to give her away
            E
I loved her first

Solo  E - C#m - A - A/Ab - F#m7

         B                E
From the first breath she breathed
                          C#m
When she first smiled at me
           A         A/Ab        F#m7    B
I knew the love of a father runs deep
       F#m7               E         A    A/Ab
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
          F#m7           E      B
When a miracle smiles up at you
            E
I loved her first
