Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Look at the two of you dancin' that way

Lost in the moment and each other's face

So much in love, you're alone in this place

Like there's nobody else in the world

I was enough for her not long ago

I was her number one, she told me so

And she still means the world to me just so you know

So be careful when you hold my girl

Time changes everything, life must go on

And I'm not gonna stand in your way

I loved her first, I held her first

And a place in my heart will always be hers

From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday

But it's still hard to give her away, I loved her first

How could that beautiful woman with you

Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew

The one that I read all those fairytales to

And tucked into bed all those nights

And I knew the first time I saw you with her

It was only a matter of time

I loved her first, I held her first

And a place in my heart will always be hers

From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday

But it's still hard to give her away

I loved her first

Lead Ride: - - - - -

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

Someday you might know what I'm goin' through

When a miracle smiles up at you

I loved her first
