Heartland - I Loved Her First
Capo 2
Intro chords:
G/f#
Look at the two of you dancin' that way
G/f#
Lost in the moment and each other's face
So much in love, you're alone in this place
G/f#
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
G/f#
I was her number one, she told me so
And she still means the world to me just so you know
G/f#
So be careful when you hold my girl
Pre-Chorus:
Time changes everything, life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
Chorus
I loved her first, I held her first
G/f#
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
G/f#
I knew the love of a father runs deep
G/f#
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first
How could that beautiful woman with you
G/f#
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairytales to
G/f#
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time
I loved her first, I held her first
G/f#
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
G/f#
I knew the love of a father runs deep
G/f#
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
G/f#
I knew the love of a father runs deep
G/f#
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
Ooh, ooh
