_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] Look at the two of you dancing that way, _
[A] lost [E] in the moment,
[F#m] and each [B] other's face.
[E] So much in love, you're alone in this place,
[A] like there's [E] nobody else in [B] the [A] world.
_ [B] _ _ _
[E] I was enough for her not long ago. _ _
[A] I [E] was her number one.
[F#m] She told me [B] so, and she [E] still means the world to me,
[C#m] just so you know.
So [A] be careful [E] when you hold my _ [B] girl.
_ [C#m] _
Time changes [A] everything.

And a place in [A] my heart [E] will always [F#m] be hers.
[B] From the first breath [E] she breathed,
when she first smiled [C#m] at me, _ I knew
[A] the love of [E] a father [F#m] runs deep.
_ [B] _ _
[F#m] I prayed that [E] she'd find you [A] someday,
_ [E] _ _
[F#m] but it's still hard [E] to give her [B] away.
_ I [E] loved her _ _ first. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
How could that beautiful [C#m] woman with you _
[A] be the [E] same freckled face [F#m] kid that [B] I knew?
[E] The one that I read all those [C#m] fairy tales to,
and [A] tucked in [E] the bed all those nights.
[B] _
[C#m] And I knew the first [A] time I saw you with her,
[E] it was only a matter [B] of time.

[A] the love [E] of a father _
[F#m] runs [B] deep. _
[F#m] I prayed that [E] she'd find you [A] someday,
_ [E] _ _
[F#m] but it's still hard to [E] give her [B] away.
