D        A              D                G 
I don't get many things right the first time 
 
    D             Bm          C     F#m(strum once)  C  
In fact, I am told that a lot       
 
           A 
Now I know all the wrong turns,     
 
         D                   Bm                     F#m  A 
And stumbles and falls brought me here 
 
Bm                   G                 Bm 
And where was I before the day              
 
                 E                      A 
That I first saw your lovely face       
 
          F#m            G        F#m   G 
Now I see it every day

Interlude: D|G|D|A         
 
 
             D          A 
What if I'd been born 
 
D               G 
Fifty years before you      
 
       D 
In a house      
 
          Bm                      C      F#m(strum once)  C 
On a street where you live             
 
            A       
Maybe I'd be outside        
 
             D                       G 
As you passed on your bike         
 
              F#m    A 
Would I know? 
 
Bm         G                 Bm 
And In a wide sea of eyes         
 
            E                A          F#m     G 
I'd see one pair that I recognize     
 
        D   A 
And I'd know      
 
        D A  Bm 
That I am   
 
  F#m 
I am 
 
G A        D          D   A 
I am the luckiest 
 
Em          Em                     Bm 
I love you more than I have      
 
         Bm                  D        G    D   A 
Ever found a way to say to you     
 
         D 
Next door            
 
                  A 
There's an old man     
 
         D               G 
Who lived to his nineties         
 
               D                   Bm            C         F#m(strum once)  C 
And one day, passed away in his sleep         
 
              A             A

For a couple of days and passed away              
 
                  G 
I'm sorry, I know that's a  
 
Bm                    E                   A 
Strange way to tell you that I know      
 
            F#m    G  G 
We belong      
 
       D   A
