D5  B5  G5  G5  E5  A5      
 
D5                                  B5 
Look at the two of you dancin' that way 
G5               G5             E5              A5 
Lost in the moment and each other's face 
D5                                    B5 
So much in love, you're alone in this place 
                    G5         G5        E5     A5     
Like there's nobody else in the world 
 

D5                              B5 
I was enough for her not long ago 
G5              G5            E5             A5 
I was her number one, she told me so 
              D5                                         B5 
And she still means the world to me just so you know 
           G5                  G5            E5     A5 
So be careful when you hold my girl 
 

B5                                   G5                                     D5                                    A5                       
Time changes everything, life must go on  And I'm not gonna stand in your way 
                 D5                   B5                         G5               G5     E5 
I loved her first, I held her first   And a place in my heart  will    always be hers 
                A5                     D5                                                   B5 
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me 
                 G5          G5            E5    A5  
I knew the love of a father runs deep 
         E5                       D5              G5    G5               
And I prayed that she'd find you someday 
             E5            D5      A5 
But it's still hard to give her away 
                  D5      B5   G5   G5    E5    A5  
I loved her first 
 

D5                                    B5                       G5                    G5            E5         A5 
How could that beautiful woman with you   Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew 
        D5                                  B5                      G5                G5            E5     A5     
The one that I read all those fairytales to  And tucked into bed all those nights 
          B5                          G5                           
And I knew the first time I saw you with her 
        D5                       A5 
It was only a matter of time 
 

                D5                   B5                       G5                G5    E5 
I loved her first, I held her first   And a place in my heart will      always be hers 
                A5                     D5                                                 B5 
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me 
                 G5            G5        E5    A5  
I knew the love of a father runs deep 
          E5                     D5               G5    G5               
And I prayed that she'd find you someday 
            E5            D5       A5 
But it's still hard to give her away 
                D5        
I loved her first

LEAD (Fiddle if ya got one) 
 

                                       D5                                                         B5           
From the first breath she breathed     When she first smiled at me 
                 G5         G5             E5    A5                         
I knew the love of a father runs deep 
                      E5                D5               G5    G5                                            
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through 
              E5       D5             A5                    
When a miracle smiles up at you 
                 D5        B5   G5   G5    E5    A5      D5               
I loved her first
