Intro: D G D A Bm D G A
Verse 1:
D A Bm G
I don't get many things right the first time
D Bm G* A A7
In fact, I am told, that alot, now I know, all the wrong turns
Bm G D Bm F#m A
The stumbles, and falls, brought me here
Chorus:
Bm G Bm E
And where was I before the day I first saw
A D G*
Your lovely face, now I see it every day
D A D A Bm F#m G D A D A
And I know, that I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
D G D A

Verse 2:
D A Bm G
What if I'd been born 50 years before you
D Bm G* A A7
In a house on the street where you live, Maybe I'd be outside
Bm G D Bm F#m A
As you passed on your bike, would I know,
Chorus:
Bm G Bm E A D G*
And then oh, I'd see your eyes as the one pair that I recognize
D A D A Bm F#m G D A D A
And I know, that I am, I am, I am the luckiest
Bridge:
Bm E D G D A
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Verse 3:
D A Bm G
Next door, there's an old man who lived to his 90's
D Bm G* A
And one day passed away in his sleep, and his wife
A7 Bm G D Bm F#m A
She stayed around for a couple of days and passed away
Chorus:
Bm G Bm E A
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know
D G* D A D A Bm F#m G D A Bm F#m G D A D
We belong, that I know, that I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
