D       A        D                G
I don't get many things right the first time
   D          Bm          C  C
In fact, I am told that a lot
      A
Now I know all the wrong turns,
    D            Bm               F#m  A
The 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  G
Now I see it every day
    D A
And I know

     D A  Bm
That I am
  F#m
I am
G A      D        D       D
I am the luckiest

        D        A
What if I'd been born
D             G
Fifty years before you
     D
In a house
       Bm               C   C
On the street where you live

      A      D
Maybe I'd be outside
       Bm              F#m
As you passed on your bike
        A    A
Would I know?

     Bm          G
In a wide see of eyes
        Bm          G
See one pair I recognize
    D A
And I know

     D A  Bm
That I am
  F#m
I am
G A      D        D      D
I am the luckiest

Em         Em               Bm
I love you more than I have
     Bm             D      G    D   D
Ever found a way to say to you

     D
Next door
           A
There's an old man
    D              G
Who lived into his nineties
        D           Bm         C     C
And one day, passed away in his sleep

        A         A
And his wife, she stayed
      D         G               D   Bm  F#m  A  Bm
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
That I know

     D A  Bm
That I am
  F#m
I am
G A      D        D     D
I am the luckiest
