[Verse]
E                  C#m7                
Look at the two of you dancin' that way
A                  F#m7                 
Lost in the moment and each other's face
E                                         
So much in love you're alone in this place
A                           B        
Like there's nobody else in the world
E                  C#m7             A
■ I was enough for her not long ago ■
                 F#m7              
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                      B           
So be careful when you hold my girl


[Chorus]
C#m          A                         
Time changes everything life must go on
    E                      B       
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
      E                 C#m           
But I loved her first I held her first
               A                    F#m7   
And a place in my heart will always be hers
                      E           
From the first breath she breathed
               C#m         
When she first smiled at me
       A                    F#m7     
I knew the love of a father runs deep
    F#m                          A      
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
F#m                         B       
But it's still hard to give her away
  E         C#m  
I loved her first


[Verse]
E              C#m7                    
How could that beautiful woman with you
A                   F#m7                
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
E                       C#m7               
The one that I read all those fairytales to
A                       B7    Bsus4 
And tucked into bed all those nights


[Chorus]
C#m7                 A                      
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
E                    B      
It was only a matter of time
  E                 C#m           
I loved her first I held her first
               A                    F#m7   
And a place in my heart will always be hers
                      E           
From the first breath she breathed
               C#m       C#m7
When she first smiled at me  
       C#m A                F#m7     
I knew the love of a father runs deep
                                 A      
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
F#m7                        B7      
But it's still hard to give her away
  E               C#m Amaj7
I loved her first ■   ■    
F#m7                E                  
■    From the first breath she breathed
               C#m         
When she first smiled at me
       A             F#m7            
I knew the love of a father runs deep
                                E     A      
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
F#m7                  E        
When a miracle smiles up at you
  E              
I loved her first
