[Intro]
 
D G D A Bm F#m G D Asus4 A
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
D       A        D                G
I don't get many things right the first time
   D          Bm          C
In fact, I am told that a lot
      A            A/C#
Now I know all the wrong turns,
    D            G                D    Bm   F#m  Asus4  A
The stumbles and falls brought me here
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Bm            G            Bm
And where was I before the day
             E               A
That I first saw your lovely face
      F#m          G
Now I see it every day
    Asus4 A
And I     know
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     D A
That I am
Bm F#m
I  am
G Asus4 A     D        A
I am      the luckiest
 
 
[Instrumental]
D  G  D  A
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
        D        A
What if I'd been born
D             G
Fifty years before you
     D
In a house
       Bm               C
On the street where you live
      A         A/C#
Maybe I'd be outside
       D              G
As you passed on your bike
        D      Bm    F#m    Assu4  A
Would I know?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Bm       G           Bm
And in a wide sea of eyes
      E             A      F#m     G   Gsus2   G
I see one pair that I recognize
    D A
And I know
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     D A
That I am
Bm F#m
I  am
G Asus4 A     D        A
I am      the luckiest

Em                            Bm
I love you more than I have
                 A  D          G    D/A   A
Ever found a way to say to you
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
        D
Next door
           A
There's an old man
    D            G
Who lived to his nineties
        D            Bm         C
And one day, passed away in his sleep
        A         A/C#
And his wife, she stayed
      D         G                D   Bm  F#m  Asus4  A
For a couple of days and passed away
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Bm         G
I'm sorry, I know that's a 
Bm             E               A
Strange way to tell you that I know
     F#m      G
We belong
     D A
That I know
 
 
[Outro/Chorus]
 
     D A
That I am
Bm F#m
I  am
