[D] [A] [D]
Just like so many other men [G] we hear about in song, I wed the [D] wrong girl just before the right one [A] came along.
Though [D] I was tied to someone [G] else the day you came my way, but if I [D] had only met you [A] first, you'd be my [D] own today.
I [G] knew I didn't love her [D] on the day we said I do, [G] but placed a ring upon her [D] hand and promised to [A] be true.
I [D] thought someday I'd learn to [G] care, so we made the vow, but if [D] I had only met you [A] first, things would be [D] different now.
[A]
[D] Though what I hold in my heart now [G] can never have my name, because the [D] one I never loved would do her [F#m] the shame.
[D] To leave her now would break her heart, [G] and that's what makes me stay, but if I [D] had met you first, [A] it wouldn't be [D] this way.
[G] So now I'm doomed to live a lie [D] because he meant to hate.
[G] She'll never set me free, and so [D] I can't ask you [A] to wait.
If you should find another love, [G] I won't stand in your way, but if I had only [D] met you first, [A] you'd be my own
