Look at the two of you dancin' that way
A A/G# F#m B
Lost in the moment and each other's face

So much in love you're alone in this place
A A/G# F#m B
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
A A/G# F#m B
So be careful when you hold my girl
Pre-Chorus:

Time changes everything life must go on

And I'm not gonna stand in your way

I loved her first I held her first
A A/G# F#m
And a place in my heart will always be hers
B E Cm
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
A A/G# F#m B
I knew the love of a father runs deep
F#m E A A/G#
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
F#m E B
But it's still hard to give her away

I loved her first

How could that beautiful woman with you
A A/G# F#m B
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew
E Cm
The one that I read all those fairytales to
A A/G# F#m B
And tucked into bed all those nights
Cm A
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

I loved her first

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
F#7 E B
When a miracle smiles up at you

I loved her first
Ooh ooh
