I loved her first

• D

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 
 
Bm                                   G                                     D                                    A                       
Time changes everything, life must go on  And I'm not gonna stand in your way 
 
                 D                   Bm                         G               G/F#     Em 
I loved her first, I held her first   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      Bm   G   G/F#    Em    A  
I loved her first 
 
D                                    Bm                       G                    G/F#            Em         A 
How could that beautiful woman with you   Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew 
        D                                  Bm                      G                G/F#            Em     A     
The one that I read all those fairytales to  And tucked into bed all those nights 
          Bm                          G                           
And I knew the first time I saw you with her 
        D                       A 
It was only a matter of time 
 
                D                   Bm                       G                G/F#    Em 
I loved her first, I held her first   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    G      G/F#       Em          
LEAD (Fiddle if ya got one) 
 
                                       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#                                            
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through 
              Em       D/F#             A                    
When a miracle smiles up at you 
                 D        Bm   G   G/F#    Em    A      D               
I loved her first
