(Keep high E and B strings held down throughout the whole song)
[Verse]
G Em
Look at the two of you dancin that way
C Em Dsus/F#
Lost in the moment in each others face
G Em
So much in love , you're alone in this place
C Em Dsus/F#
Like there's nobody in the world
G Em
I was enough for her not long ago
C Em Dsus/F#
I was her number one, she told me so
G Em
And she still means the world to me just so you know
C Em Dsus/F#
So be careful when you hold my girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
But time changes everything, life must go on
Em Dsus/F#
So I'm not gonna stand in your way
[Chorus]
G
I loved h
Em
I held her first
C Em Dsus/F#
And a place in my heart will always be hers
G
From the first breath she breathed
Em
Til she first smiled at me
C Em Dsus/F#
I knew the love of a father runs deep
C Em Dsus/F#
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
C Em Dsus/F#
But it's still hard to give her away
G
I loved her first
[Verse 2]
G Em
How could that beautiful woman with you
C Dsus/F#
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
G Em
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
C Em Dsus/F#
And tucked into bed all those nights
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
But time changes everything, life must go on
Em Dsus/F#
So I'm not gonna stand in your way
[Chorus] (x2)
G
I loved h
Em
I held her first
C Em Dsus/F#
And a place in my heart will always be hers
G
From the first breath she breathed
Em
Til she first smiled at me
C Em Dsus/F#
I knew the love of a father runs deep
C Em Dsus/F#
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
C Em Dsus/F#
But it's still hard to give her away
G
I loved her first
