D                       Bm  
Look at the two of you dancin' that way  
G                        D              A  
Lost in the moment and each other's face  
D                        Bm  
So much in love, you're alone in this place  
              G                    A      
Like there's nobody else in the world  
  
D                    Bm  
I was enough for her not long ago  
G                     D             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                        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                    A 
I loved her first, I held her first   And a place in my heart will always be hers  
                           D                                Bm  
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me  
            G         D            A   
I knew the love of a father runs deep  
       Bm                D             G               
And I prayed that she'd find you someday  
           D            G         A  
But it's still hard to give her away  
                  D    Bm   G     A   
I loved her first  
  
D                         Bm              G                          D           A 
How could that beautiful woman with you   Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew  
D                              Bm                 G                         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                    A 
I loved her first, I held her first   And a place in my heart will always be hers  
                           D                                Bm  
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me  
            G         D            A   
I knew the love of a father runs deep  
       Bm                D             G               
And I prayed that she'd find you someday  
           D            G         A  
But it's still hard to give her away  
                  D    Bm   G     A   
I loved her first (LEAD (Fiddle if ya got one) ) 
  
  
                           D                                Bm  
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me  
            G         D            A   
I knew the love of a father runs deep  
             Bm              D             G                            
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through  
         D        G           A                     
When a miracle smiles up at you  
                 D     Bm   G    A      D                
I loved her first                   mmm..mmm
