Heartland - I Loved Her First

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

D			  Bm
How could that beautiful woman with you
G              G/f#      Em           A
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew

D                         Bm
The one that I read all those fairytales to
G             G/f#     Em       A
And tucked into bed all those nights

Bm			  D
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
	D			 A
It was only a matter of time

            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

	 A                D
From the first breath she breathed
			  Bm
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#
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
          Em           D/F#      A
When a miracle smiles up at you
            D
I loved her first

Ooh, ooh
